Supply chains are getting increasingly more complex. Add to this the fact that consumers want more and more information about the products they buy. How can we obtain and store the information we want (and need), when we interact with hundreds of suppliers? Transparency in your supply chain is no longer a “nice to have”, but has become a must-have.

And more importantly, can we do something about it? In the Asia Food Journal, Transparency-One talks about the importance of transparency in the Palm Oil Supply Chain.
