📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本企業もEUDR対応が迫られており、特にカカオ調達チェーンにおけるトレーサビリティとデューデリジェンスの重要性が増している。本稿は途上国サプライチェーンの制度的制約を理論化しており、日本企業の調達戦略にも示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
The EU Deforestation Regulation is reshaping global commodity supply chains, demanding verifiable proof of legality and zero deforestation. This paper's conceptual framework helps understand how institutional and verification gaps in producer countries affect market access for cocoa and other commodities, relevant for global companies under EUDR compliance.
👥 読者別の含意

🏢実務担当者:Highlights the need for traceability systems and institutional partnerships to maintain market access under EUDR.
🏛政策担当者:Provides insights into how regulatory design affects smallholder inclusion and competitive dynamics in producer countries.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This paper develops a conceptual comparative framework explaining how the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) may reshape ESG accountability, cocoa market access and competitive advantage in Nigeria and Brazil. The regulation shifts cocoa sustainability from voluntary certification and corporate reporting toward proof of deforestation-free production, legality, due diligence and traceability. For smallholder-based cocoa systems, the key issue is not only whether cocoa is produced sustainably, but whether such sustainability can be documented in forms accepted by regulated markets. Drawing on institutional theory, the resource-based view, dynamic capabilities, stakeholder and legitimacy theory, and global value-chain perspectives, the paper argues that ESG accountability becomes a competitive capability only when supported by credible verification systems, coordinated institutions, cooperative capacity and buyer responsibility. Nigeria and Brazil are treated as contrasting Global South cocoa contexts: Nigeria shows strong production potential but persistent governance, infrastructure, quality-control and traceability constraints, while Brazil offers stronger agroforestry and restoration cocoa narratives that still depend on proof, legality and smallholder inclusion. The paper reframes cocoa competitiveness as governance-mediated readiness for market access and proposes a framework for future empirical research on EUDR readiness and cocoa-sector upgrading in emerging economies.
