"About a quarter of coffee exports from Colombia, the world's No. 3 producer, go to Europe, which means coffee companies need to prepare to comply with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which should enter into force at the end of this year."
"Colombia's Coffee Information System (SICA), a georeferenced database managed by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia (FNC), contains detailed records on around 1.8 million coffee lots and socioeconomic data on nearly 500,000 coffee-growing families, most of them smallholders."
"This long-established system could help Colombian coffee growers demonstrate compliance with EUDR, placing them ahead of competitors in Africa and parts of Asia. Nevertheless, while many large companies say they're prepared for the EUDR, small-scale farmers, including Indigenous coffee growers, often have limited knowledge about the requirements and are less prepared to comply."
"The regulation, set to go into force at the end of this year, will ban the import into the EU market of seven key commodities linked to deforestation. Coffee is among them."
About a quarter of Colombia’s coffee exports go to Europe, making European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) compliance a pressing requirement for coffee companies. The EUDR is set to enter into force at the end of the year and will ban EU imports of seven commodities linked to deforestation, including coffee. Colombia’s Coffee Information System (SICA) is a georeferenced database managed by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, containing detailed records on around 1.8 million coffee lots and socioeconomic data on nearly 500,000 coffee-growing families, mostly smallholders. This system can help growers demonstrate compliance and gain an advantage over competitors. Many large companies claim readiness, but small-scale and Indigenous growers often have limited knowledge of EUDR requirements and are less prepared.
