Indonesia, they were the world’s main coconut exporters.
 Resource/ Commodity this product is an agricultural commodities that

problems & challenges. Like on Ecuadorian banana
plantations, many workers are subjected to conditions that
threaten their health. The widespread use of pesticides is

fin tuna are was driven near extinction at the turn of the country. Malta
has the largest tuna fathering capacity in the world, and it’s five tuna
farms receive around a quarter of all Eastern Atlantic Blue Fin Tuna
caught in the world every year. This makes Malta one of the most
important players in the tuna industry. But that same importance also
make it, given its failures to important players in the tuna industry. But
that same importance also make it, given it failures to implement
