As part of the “Engagement with Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam to raise awareness on and to promote better understanding of the EU approach to reducing EU-driven deforestation and forest degradation (EUDR Engagement)” project, workshop involving private sector working on cocoa, coffee, and rubber commodities on 11 February 2025 brought together key stakeholders from across the Indonesian supply chains (coffee, rubber, cocoa) to discuss the requirements of EUDR and its impact on trade, smallholders, and regulatory aspects in Indonesia.
By fostering an open exchange of knowledge and perspectives, the workshop aimed to highlight readiness gaps and chart a pathway toward practical solutions. Discussions covered legal frameworks, traceability systems, financial barriers, and collaboration to ensure deforestation-free production and market access.
