Kenya is rapidly working to comply with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) by the strict deadline of December 30, 2025. This new regulation mandates that all agricultural exports to the EU, particularly coffee, must be traceable to land not deforested after December 31, 2020, to maintain market access for its significant coffee exports.

• Approximately 30% of Kenya's coffee farms, covering 32,688 hectares, have already been geo-mapped, with the remaining mapping scheduled for completion within two months.
• The Director General of the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA), Dr. Bruno Linyiru, stated that this initiative is crucial for market access and protecting farmer livelihoods.
• Kenya exported 122,699 metric tonnes of coffee to the EU over the last five years, generating approximately Sh90 billion, with 55% of its coffee exports destined for the EU.
