Geolocation training in Rwanda to facilitate EUDR Compliance
Geolocation Data Collection Workshop
Geolocation Data Collection Workshop to prepare Rwandan coffee producers for compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), was held in Huye, Rwanda.
The workshop that was held in February brought together 25 participants—including 3 women—from the third cohort of coffee producers, cooperatives, and exporters.
The session was also attended by the Chairperson of the Coffee Exporters and Processors Association of Rwanda (CEPAR), reflecting strong support from the private sector.
Participants deepened their understanding of EUDR requirements and gained hands-on skills in geolocation data collection—an essential element for in coffee exports to the EU.
These efforts are helping to ensure that Rwandan coffee stakeholders are well-prepared to meet evolving international market standards.
EUDR is a key element of the EU Green Deal, a set of proposals and regulations to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050.
Considering the far-reaching impact on global deforestation, the EUDR aims to play a pivotal role in curbing deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and global biodiversity loss.
