Since 2015, SECO supports UNDP in establishing platforms for effective multistakeholder collaboration to promote sustainable production systems in important agricultural commodity sectors. The programme aims at convening stakeholders and building a shared vision of the future of the sector. Like this it will generate willingness to take joint action to confront the identified challenges. In its third phase, the Green Commodities Programme will work in the palm oil sector in Indonesia and Malaysia, in the coffee and cocoa sectors in Peru, in the cocoa sector in Ghana and in the beef and soy sectors in Brazil.

The programme's objective is to build sustainable commodity production and trade, benefiting social and economic development and protecting forests and ecosystems. In addition to the ongoing work in Indonesia and Peru, the program will foster multi-stakeholder actions to establish and implement National or Regional Commodity Action Plans also in Brazil, Ghana and Malaysia. It further aims and at sharing successful practices for replication in other agro-commodity sectors around the world.
