This video provides a generic overview of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and its implications for the cocoa sector. From 30 December 2024, operators placing cocoa and derived products on the EU market must demonstrate that they are traceable to the plot of origin, deforestation-free since 31 December 2020, and legally produced. The factsheet outlines the due diligence process, including geolocation requirements, forest definitions and legal compliance. It also introduces the EU benchmarking system for country risk classification.
