The signature of this self-assessment is also monitored by the grain team.<\/p>\n<p>Critical Suppliers Monitoring: The Commodity Purchase Board considers two groups of suppliers critical: suppliers with operations located near the Amazon biome and also soy processing companies that buy and process raw materials that depend on other grain suppliers in their process of production.
