If we have decided to implement the EU-Deforestation Regulation, please let it be for the good of the small holder farmer, and the impact at farm level! I believe a regulation like the #EUDR can be a good step, but has the potential to only be beneficial to large exporters and farmers, and might exclude small holder farmers, who are marginalised often already. Power to the farmers: let's empower those who deserve the extra revenue of high quality coffee. How? By traceability and geolocalization trainings of local communities and local consultants? Curious for your thoughts! Thanks CBI - Centre for the Promotion of Imports from developing countries for the invitation to speak and Fred Janssen. #Europe #Deforestation #smallholders #coffee #sustainability #premiumcoffee #farming
THROWBACK | On 25 and 26 June, CBI organised a two-day event in Copenhagen for alumni in the coffee sector. ☕ Following a similar event last year in Rwanda, this year's theme centred around the upcoming EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). As the European market sets increasingly high Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) requirements in the coffee sector, CBI met with former Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) exporters last week to discuss the implications of the EUDR, which will take effect on 1 January 2025. ✅ This event provided an excellent platform to reconnect with alumni and discuss crucial topics affecting the coffee sector. Engaging with former participants offered valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by the EUDR. Key speakers included Gustavo Ferro, Jeroen (Jerome) Kruft, Michael K Jakobsen, Ariel Zorrilla, Teun Vogel, Muhammad N. M. Fadli, David Browning and Anne-Marie Roorda.

The Africa Food System Forum AFS Forum is just around the corner! 🌍 This year, our team will spotlight innovations in service delivery that are helping transforming African food systems and uplifting local communities. Take, for example, Raphael Group Limited in Mbeya, Tanzania. By integrating women into their rice and beans value chains, they’ve increased the quality and quantity of their production. 🌱 Curious how they did it?
