Kenya in 2-month dash to comply with EU coffee import regulations
Employees at African Coffee Roasters in Athi River who process and package high quality branded coffee for local and export markets on September 16, 2021.
The government has set out to map 76,696 hectares of coffee farms across the country over the next two months as Kenya rushes to comply with a European Union (EU) market rule that seeks to ban the sale of goods linked to deforestation starting January next year.
The exercise, set to be completed by the end of September this year, will be coordinated by the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) and will also involve the State Departments of Agriculture and Cooperatives, the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), and the Kenya Space Agency (KSA).
