Kenya’s coffee harvested from deforested land will not be sold in the European Union (EU) from the end of this year as part of new laws by the economic bloc meant to reduce deforestation globally.

The new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) was passed by the European Parliament and European Council in May last year and takes effect on December 30.
