Synopsis (short abstract) The project “Building responsible global value chains for the sustainable production and trade of tropical fruits” (the Responsible Fruits Project) supports avocado and pineapple industry actors to strengthen or establish risk-based due diligence systems with the aim of making their operations more sustainable and resilient to shocks.In 2021, a baseline survey was conducted targeting avocado and pineapple producers, packers and their organizations, and trade associations (collectively referred to as “companies” in this report for the sake of simplicity).In March 2024, a follow-up survey was undertaken with 44 avocado or pineapple companies who had actively participated in the Responsible Fruits Project. The objectives of the follow-up survey were to:1. Update existing information on sustainability challenges faced by avocado and pineapple companies to understand if these challenges have changed, and if any progress has been made on addressing previously identified problems and risks;2. Identify the extent to which project participants have been able to incorporate information and outputs from the project to support their business in a positive way; and3. Find out if project participants are interested in establishing a multistakeholder initiative as a means of moving beyond the project in the future.This is the full report on the follow-up survey and an analysis of its results. A brief summary report is also available.
