European Union’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) approved the update of published coffee standard under Fairtrade International. While Fairtrade International keeps the mission to support small coffee beans farmers worldwide, the new standard adds monitoring and reporting requirements for certified coffee producer groups, as well as for coffee buyers and traders within the Fairtrade system. Taking effect in 2026, the standard will apply to all Fairtrade-certified coffees, not solely those destined for the EU.
