Abstract

The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development stands for global recognition of sustainable production and consumption. Since then, the Sustainability Standards have grown in number and prominence on trading process, particularly on agri-food products. This article seeks to determine the main study lines in the academic literature on Sustainability Standards in agribusiness. A bibliometric technique is used to find the connections between articles indexed in the Web of Science database. The bibliometric analysis resulted in three lines in the literature in business and management: governance, value chain, and impact measurement of standards in the production and commercialization of agri-food products such as coffee, bananas, palm oil and, cocoa. This article identifies authors who have addressed the Sustainability Standards in Agribusiness and frames future research lines focused on impact measuring and Sustainable Development Goals achievement; private governance and value chain approach and private development standards by retailers.
