EUDR for coffee

EUDR software for coffee, from smallholder plots to the roaster's statement.

Coffee comes from millions of small farms, pooled by cooperatives and exporters. The regulation wants every one of those plots. EUDRplot checks the files they produce and keeps them with each green coffee product.

What coffee files look like

A Type II GeoJSON from a cooperative or exporter, with hundreds or thousands of plots, most of them points because the farms are small, some polygons for larger estates. Coordinates often come from phone apps used in the field, and producer names from systems in Spanish or Portuguese.

The problems to expect

Points with no Area, so the system cannot tell whether a point is allowed. Points with an Area over four hectares, which need polygons. Coordinates copied latitude first. Boundaries walked around steep, winding plots, where a corner added at the end makes the outline cross itself. Accented names saved in the wrong encoding.

Roasters and importers

The green coffee importer is usually the operator. A roaster buying inside the EU is a downstream operator and keeps the reference numbers; a roaster importing directly files its own statements. Soluble coffee producers should plan for 30 December 2027.

Questions

Is roasted coffee covered?

Yes. HS 0901 covers coffee whether or not roasted or decaffeinated. Soluble coffee (2101 11 00) joins from 30 December 2027.

A cooperative has 3,000 members. Do I need all their plots?

Every plot that contributed to the coffee you place on the market. A cooperative file with points for the small farms is the usual way to send them.

Which countries are high risk for coffee?

The Commission's list classes countries, not commodities. Most coffee origins are standard risk; check each in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093.
