Cirad examines imported deforestation, noting that the EU imported €142 billion of agricultural products in 2020, including palm oil, beef, cocoa, coffee and soya. Globally, tropical forests are being lost at about 10 million hectares a year, with roughly two-thirds attributed to agricultural expansion.
The article argues that a simple import ban would not solve the problem.
