What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The European Union is tightening deforestation requirements through the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). This regulation requires operators to identify where coffee was produced, provide the geolocation of production plots, and demonstrate that the coffee was not grown on land deforested after December 31, 2020. A workshop was held in Sơn La to discuss promoting EUDR-compliant coffee production in Vietnam.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The European Union is one of Vietnam’s largest coffee markets, accounting for about 40 per cent of the country’s coffee exports. The EUDR will apply to medium and large operators starting December 30 this year, and to most micro and small operators starting June 30 next year. This regulatory shift requires producers in regions like Sơn La to transition toward sustainable practices to maintain market access.

The EUDR framework imposes anti-deforestation penalties, while the Vietnamese coffee industry has recommended targeting markets such as Russia.
