International trade can be an engine for growth and sustainable development. However, for trade to be truly sustainable, it must generate benefits across all three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. This book analyses sustainable production and trade practices in the cocoa, fisheries, forestry, and textiles and garments sectors. It sheds light on the sustainable practices and governance arrangements employed by Commonwealth countries, the private sector and other organisations, while also highlighting the challenges they face and the potential to make production and trade more sustainable in the future.

Sustainable Production and Trade: Perspectives from the Commonwealth provides valuable insights into some of the dynamics, opportunities, challenges and policy options to engage more holistically with trade and sustainability at the national, regional and global levels.
