What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) takes effect on December 30, 2026, for large and medium-sized operators. The regulation requires commodities entering the EU market, such as cocoa, coffee, palm oil, and rubber, to be legally produced and traceable to farms not deforested after December 31, 2020. Industry experts estimate that farmers producing more than half of Nigeria’s cocoa could initially struggle to satisfy these requirements.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The regulation presents a formidable test for Nigeria as the country seeks to diversify its exports away from oil. The compliance costs associated with mapping and tracing supply chains are already impacting exporters, with some reporting costs between $40 and $80 per tonne.
