Sɛnea wɔde checklist yi di dwuma
Step 1 — Yɛ wo supply chain map. Kyerɛw tier biara: smallholders, cherry collection points, processing stations, dry mills, exporters, ne EU importer. Coffee no, hwɛ sɛ wo supply chain de wet anaa dry processing di dwuma — station a wɔde yɛ cherry processing no yɛ aggregation point titiriw.
Step 2 — Fa section biara yɛ adwuma. Fa items sɛ complete sɛ documentary evidence wɔ hɔ nkutoo.

Hwan na ɔhia checklist yi
- Coffee exporters a wɔsiesie DDS evidence packages ama EU-bound consignments

Nsɛm a wɔbisa mpɛn pii
Sɛnea processing method differences affect EUDR traceability?
Washed, natural, ne honey processing ma yield ratios ne aggregation patterns foforɔfoforɔ. Washed processing yɛ wɔ centralised washing stations a wɔboaboa cherry ano efi farmers pii hɔ; natural processing ebia ɛyɛ wɔ farm level. Processing method biara mu no, EUDR hwehwɛ traceability kɔsi plot a wɔyɛɛ cherry no wɔ so (Article 9(1)(d)).
Shade-grown coffee wɔ compliance requirements foforɔ?
Compliance requirements no yɛ pɛ. Nanso shade-grown coffee wɔ kwaeɛ canopy ase ma satellite-based deforestation screening yɛ den: nsakraeɛ a efi natural forest kɔ shade-coffee ebia ɛrenkyerɛ wɔ canopy-cover analyses mu. Operators sɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ sɛ wɔn screening methodology tumi kyerɛ nsonsonoe no.
Sɛ meyɔ checklist yi nyinaa wie a, ɛkyerɛ sɛ medi EUDR so?
