This is the 2nd episode of a new five-part series on The Daily Coffee Pro by the Map It Forward Podcast, hosted by Lee Safar.
Our guest on the podcast this week is Pedro Manga from Caravela Coffee. Pedro is a Sustainability and Impact Advisor and in this series, we'll discuss EUDR from a coffee trader's perspective.
In this episode of The Daily Coffee Pro by Map It Forward, Lee and Pedro deep dive into the complexities of EUDR (European Union Deforestation Regulation) to clarify that EUDR is a due diligence process, not a certification, and discuss the responsibilities of different parties in the coffee supply chain to ensure coffee is deforestation-free.
