This is to a #GreaterandBetter2025 from Africa Trade Academy

The #EUDeforestationRegulation (#EUDR) should have taken effect on December 30, 2024, but has been extended by 12 months to December 30, 2025. The #EUDR is a law that ensures products sold in the EU are not sourced from #degraded or #deforested land. Products covered by the regulation include over 70 raw and derivative products from #cocoa, #coffee, #soyabean, #rubber, #timber, #palmoil and #cattle. The #EUDR came into force in June 2023, and was expected to be fully operationalized by December 30,2025. The regulations placed #duediligence requirements on #suppliers and #buyers from the #EU and third countries including #Africa, which if not met, would prevent the covered products from being placed on the #EU market. A forthcoming publication by Africa Trade Academy and The Commonwealth Secretariat indicates that #Africa, a major producer of the listed products is projected to loose approximately USD11bn in export earnings, if producers on the continent fail to meet the due diligence requirements of the #EUDR.   The postponement of operationalization of the #EUDR to December 2025 gives businesses, third countries, and EU member states more time to prepare their #duediligence systems. Stay tuned in 2025 for more updates and training by Africa Trade Academy on understanding and meeting EUDR requirements.
