Britain is planning new rules to ensure that everyday products sold in the country, including coffee and cocoa, do not contribute to illegal deforestation globally, the government said on Tuesday.

● The government says it will consult businesses and international partners on the policy, which includes mandatory due diligence requirements for businesses.
