The looming European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is set to enforce stringent compliance on the food industry, targeting products like coffee, cocoa, palm oil, and beef to ensure they do not originate from deforested land post-December 2020. While intended to curb deforestation and reduce carbon emissions, many manufacturers and smallholder suppliers, especially in countries like Indonesia and coffee-growing nations, are struggling to meet these requirements. Calls for a delay, particularly from industry bodies like the European Coffee Federation, highlight concerns about the readiness of supply chains and the added costs of traceability. Despite these challenges, the EU remains firm on the December 30, 2024, deadline. Companies must fast-track their efforts to achieve compliance or risk disruption in trade. This critical deadline underscores the need for businesses to adopt transparent supply chain practices and leverage technologies like GPS mapping to ensure compliance with EUDR regulations.

EUDR: Database opens in November for pre-registration The key requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) are that the defined commodities (including coffee) and products shall not be placed or made available on the EU market or exported unless all the following conditions are fulfilled: ✅ they are deforestation-free ✅ they have been produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production ✅ they are covered by a due diligence statement An online tool of the European Union enables operators to provide this “Due Diligence Statement”. The registration to the “Deforestation Due Diligence Statement Registry” opens in November 2024 and the system will be open to all users in December 2024.   👇 https://lnkd.in/dGXC-ieu Learn more about supporting #EUDR Compliance from Swiss Sustainable Coffee Platform’s member 4C Services which works towards sustainable coffee supply chains and improved livelihoods of farmers:  https://lnkd.in/e9j7FK-V

Do you know the environmental impact of cocoa production for your chocolate flavored products? While West Africa produces 70% of the world’s cocoa, this success has led to severe deforestation, with Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana losing 94% and 80% of their forests over the past 60 years—one-third of which is due to cocoa farming. The EU, as the world’s largest importer of raw cocoa, accounts for over 58% of global imports. In response, the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), effective from 30 December 2024 (and 30 June 2025 for small enterprises), mandates that cocoa products made available in the EU market must be deforestation-free and accompanied by a due diligence statement.

I have taken up a challenge to post on EUDR regulations for the next 30 days. Kuddos to Kwame Richmond - CertIOSH, OTHM L7 Dip, PGCert, NVQ L6 Dip, BSc, Certified-Master-Trainer® for the motivation. Precepts on Article 1. The EUDR aims to promote sustainable cocoa production, protect forests, and ensure a deforestation-free supply chain. Implications for the Cocoa Industry: 1. Supply chain transparency: Companies must provide clear information on cocoa sourcing. Evident documentation on traceability, geographic location etc. 2. Deforestation-free production: Ensure cocoa production does not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation. 3. Certification and verification: Third-party certification and verification may be required. #EUDR #COCOA #SUPPLYCHAINTRANSPARENCY

This regulation requires businesses to take proactive steps in verifying that their supply chains are deforestation-free. 💡 What You Need to Know About EUDR: • Products in Focus: Includes soy, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa, coffee, and their derivatives. • Traceability Standards: Businesses must provide evidence of complete traceability, proving products do not contribute to forest degradation. • Impact on Supply Chains: EUDR enforces transparency from sourcing to delivery, reshaping global supply chain practices. By aligning with EUDR, we can collectively promote ethical sourcing and sustainable development. #Sustainability #EUDR #ClimateAction #Deforestation

🚨 Postponement of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) 🚨 What should companies do during this period? The implementation of the EUDR has been postponed by one year, giving companies additional time to ensure compliance. This extra time is crucial for businesses involved in the production, import, or sale of commodities like soy, palm oil, coffee, and wood. 🌱 What can companies do during this period? 1. Conduct supply chain audits to identify deforestation risks. 2. Engage with suppliers to ensure sustainable practices. 3. Implement traceability systems to track the origin of products. 4. Train your teams on EUDR requirements and sustainable sourcing. 5. Stay informed about updates to avoid penalties later on. Use this time wisely and be prepared for full compliance! 💼🌍 #EUDR #Sustainability #DeforestationFree #SupplyChain #CorporateResponsibility #ClimateAction
