Re-WIRE Agri-Food Value Chains

Read

25 09 25

Agri-food value chains are under mounting pressure. From beef to cocoa, climate risks, regulatory exposure, and human rights violations are increasingly affecting value chains, with real consequences for people, the planet, and business resilience.

This consultation report offers a clear, analytical framework that enables companies, governments, and civil society to work from the same fact base. It pinpoints risks, highlights opportunities, and helps build consensus on credible next steps to make value chains more resilient, competitive, and regenerative.

Re-WIRE delivers vital insights across eight key commodity-country value chains, including soy, beef, cocoa, and wheat. The report includes deep dives into the Brazil–China soy corridor and Brazil’s domestic beef sector, revealing the structural barriers and financial levers that can unlock change.

FOLU and partners are now consulting businesses, farmers, governments, and civil society to refine the framework and explore its application across geographies and sectors.
