PresentationThe first virtual meeting of the EUDR Learning Community for Africa brought together African coffee stakeholders to exchange knowledge and practical experiences on implementing the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The meeting convened representatives from the European Union, national coffee platforms, development partners, and the private sector to share lessons learned and discuss collaborative approaches to compliance. Discussions highlighted the importance of public-private collaboration, interoperable digital traceability and geolocation systems, open-source technologies, and continuous capacity building to ensure smallholder inclusion. Participants also recognized EUDR as an opportunity to strengthen governance, transparency, and sustainability across Africa’s coffee sector.

Case Studies on Implementing EUDR Compliance in the Coffee SectorFrom Regulation to Practice: Case Studies on EUDR Compliance Implementation in the Coffee Sector examines five significant challenges facing the implementation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) in the coffee sector. Drawing on practical experiences from Honduras and other international initiatives, the report presents case studies on traceability, mixed-supply management, legality compliance, data governance, and interoperable technology stacks. Rather than prescribing best practices, it highlights emerging approaches, trade-offs, and lessons learned, demonstrating that effective EUDR compliance depends not only on technology but also on governance, collaboration, interoperability, and coordinated action across the entire supply chain.

Deep DiveThis report examines how geospatial and Earth Observation technologies can support cost-effective and inclusive compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), drawing on evidence from the Honduran coffee sector. Developed by COSA and AidData, the study assesses different approaches to farm geolocation and deforestation detection, comparing their accuracy, costs, and implications for smallholder inclusion. The findings highlight opportunities to use lower-cost geolocation tools while showing that differences in deforestation detection methodologies remain a key source of uncertainty. The report provides practical insights to help governments, companies, and producer organizations design EUDR compliance systems that are technically robust, affordable, and accessible to smallholder farmers. |
