EU Deforestation Regulation for Indian Growers
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) deadline has been extended to December 2025 for large coffee operators and June 2026 for smaller growers, providing Indian coffee and rubber sectors additional preparation time. The regulation ensures products are not linked to deforestation and requires thorough documentation. Indian coffee exports 70% to the EU, making compliance critical. The Rubber Board, in collaboration with TRST01, has initiated measures like issuing due diligence certificates to assist exporters. Stakeholder education and resource mobilization are essential to address challenges, ensuring long-term industry sustainability.
