The Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI) reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable and deforestation-free agriculture by organizing a regional workshop on the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) in the district of Bagua Grande, in the Amazonas region.
More than 120 producers, sector professionals, and local authorities participated in the event, which addressed the challenges and opportunities posed by the new European framework. The regulation will enter into force in 2026 and will require that products such as coffee and cacao exported to the European Union be deforestation-free and meet sustainability standards.
During the workshop, MIDAGRI presented the progress of the National Strategy for the Implementation of the EUDR Regulation, which is driven under three pillars: information generation, clarification of the legal framework, and risk management for due diligence.
SERFOR presented the Use Concession mechanism for Agroforestry Systems (CUSAF), aimed at formalizing sustainable activities, while the General Directorate of Agrarian Environmental Affairs (DGAAA) explained the guidelines of the Environmental Management Regulation for the Agrarian and Irrigation Sector (RGASAR).
Participants learned about key topics and progress in the implementation of the EUDR regulation and its impact on the coffee and cacao value chain, as well as the essential role of the Crop Guiding Framework in improving planning and reducing production risks.
The workshop featured the participation of CEPROAA, the Association of Women of Flores de Luya, DEVIDA, SERFOR, the Utcubamba Technological Institute, among others, strengthening joint efforts to reinforce the coffee and cacao value chain.
Amazonas is home to more than 40,835 coffee and cacao producers, mainly in Luya and Rodríguez de Mendoza, where these crops drive economic and social development. Through these actions, MIDAGRI continues to promote competitive, sustainable agricultural production aligned with the conservation of Amazonian forests.
