As part of the event's academic agenda, MIDAGRI held a technical talk on the EUDR on Friday, July 18, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM, in a dedicated room with limited capacity. The event was aimed at coffee and cocoa producer organizations and featured the participation of the Director of Economic Studies, who addressed:
* The role of MIDAGRI in the implementation of the European regulation
* Capacities, lessons learned, and challenges of Peruvian producers
* Institutional support for geolocation, registration, and digital strengthening
Key aspects of the regulations were also addressed, such as:

Cacao: Peru's Heritage to the World
During the event's opening, Carmen Vegas, Vice Minister of Agricultural Development Policies and Supervision, highlighted Peru's leadership in the export of fine aroma cacao and its key role in the climate and environmental agenda. "It is important to advance with geolocation and the development of technological capabilities in the field. Only then can we continue to export competitive, deforestation-free cacao," she stated.
The deputy minister emphasized that cocoa is a real alternative to illicit crops and a source of development for more than 100,000 families in 16 regions of the country, promoting decent employment, territorial roots, and sustainability from the heart of the countryside.
MIDAGRI thus reaffirms its commitment to agriculture that meets international standards and maintains the competitiveness of Peruvian cocoa in the global market.
