07 November 2024, value chain actors representing soy supply chain companies (including input companies, agribusinesses, manufacturers, retailers and consumer goods companies), financial institutions and expert NGOs convened at a roundtable in Sao Paulo. During this session, participants discussed a multi-stakeholder financial strategy for deforestation- and conversion-free DCF soy production in the Brazilian Cerrado.
This 2-page document provides key context and objectives of the roundtable, as well as highlights, takeaways, and opportunities identified with scaling the proposed financial strategy.
Although stakeholders identified challenges associated with scaling this financial mechanism, stakeholder feedback confirmed the viability of the proposed approach and laid the groundwork for continued development.
