This is the first 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 series, Lee and Pedro discuss the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). They explore the regulation's intended and real impacts on the coffee industry, including the challenges of execution and the potential consequences.

Pedro sheds light on Caravela’s vertically integrated operations and their focus on transparency and traceability.

They also address the fear and uncertainty surrounding EUDR, the necessity of systemic approaches, and the current state of preparation as the regulation's implementation looms.
