Links between the European Union Deforestation Free Regulation (EUDR) and traceability tools: An exploration from the Honduran coffee sector.

Under the EU's new deforestation-free regulation (EUDR), dated 31/05/2023, producers of coffee and other relevant products – cocoa, oil palm, rubber, soy, cattle and timber – must comply with three aspects to export their products to the European Union. These aspects are: 1) Deforestation-free; 2) Production under the relevant legislation of the country of production; and 3) Declaration of due diligence. (Council of the European Union, 2022). This report aims to illuminate these processes by focusing on the existing and potential linkages between three traceability tools currently under development in the Honduran coffee sector.
