Guide for Retailers: Developing an Effective Beef Procurement Policy
One of the first actions of the Program, on the Retail front, was for Imaflora, Abras and representatives of the sector to meet to develop and implement the Guide for Retailers: Developing an Effective Beef Procurement Policy with the support of public prosecutors, representatives of the beef companies and civil society organisations.
