Navigating EU deforestation rules: Key issues in the coffee sector | MorningAtNTV
On February 19, 2024, coffee was identified as a strategic commodity by the African Union (AU) Heads of State during the 37th AU Summit held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The declaration aspires to unlock Africa’s tremendous potential in coffee production through economic empowerment and competitiveness. We discuss the European Union deforestation regulations, their deadline, and what they mean for the coffee sector and Uganda's trade relationship with the EU. My guest this morning is Jonathan Lubega — Agricultural Trade Policy Analyst, SEATINI.
