> A Trase and Imaflora report found about 2.6 million hectares of soybean plantations in the Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado sit on unregistered land. Two-thirds of crops from the municipalities with the most unregistered farms are exported, mainly to China and the EU. ADM, Bunge, Cargill and Amaggi are named as major exporters from these areas.
