For over a year, the coffee industry has been awaiting the rollout of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (or EUDR). Announced in June 2023 and set to begin in December 2024, the legislation has huge ramifications for the global production and trade of coffee. Many key players have expressed concern that the EUDR will restrict producers’ access to one of the biggest coffee markets in the world. Despite repeated calls to delay its enforcement, in late September 2024, the EU confirmed to the World Trade Organisation that it would implement the law by its end-of-year deadline. But less than a week later, in a shocking turn of events, the European Commission proposed a year-long delay to the EUDR. The Commission stated the proposal was to grant global stakeholders, member states, and third countries “a phasing-in period to ensure proper and effective implementation”. Although some consider the motion a setback to action on climate change, others are undoubtedly relieved to have more time to prepare for the landmark legislation. An additional 12 months may seem ample, but roasters and traders need to take advantage of all the time they have. In today’s article, Tasmin Grant speaks to Andreas Idl, CEO and co-founder of Cropster, and Gilles Brunner, COO at Algrano, to learn more. https://lnkd.in/dTmAd4Wz #PerfectDailyGrind #EUDR #EUDRCoffee
