The Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) has announced mandatory visits to all coffee farms in Kenya within the next two months to conduct geo-mapping. This initiative is to comply with the new European Union Deforestation Regulations (EUDR), aiming to prevent deforestation-linked products from entering the EU market.

• 30% of Kenya's national coffee area across 16 out of 33 counties has already been geo-mapped.
• The mapping teams, under the EUDR Data Committee, include the State Department of Agriculture (SDA) and the Kenya Space Agency (KSA).
• The deadline for completing the mapping of remaining coffee production areas is December 30, with Kenya facing a risk of losing up to Ksh90 billion in coffee exports if compliance is not met.
