Abstract
Carbon accounting and labeling for
products are new instruments of supply chain management that
may affect developing country export opportunities. Most
instruments in use today are private business management
tools, although the underlying science and methodologies may
spread to issues subject to public regulation. This note
seeks to inform stakeholders involved in the design of
carbon labeling schemes and in the making of carbon emission
measurement methodologies about an overlooked issue: how can
carbon labeling be made to be both development friendly and
scientifically correct in its representation of
developing-country agricultural sectors?
