The cocoa price hike, its impact on smallholder farmers and EUDR

The cocoa industry is grappling with an unprecedented crisis as cocoa prices skyrocket, doubling since the beginning of the year, as key producing countries in Africa are hard-hit by extreme climate change events, outbreaks of disease impacting crops and financial uncertainty. How have smallholder cocoa farmers been impacted and what can be done to help them? How does the EU Deforestation Regulation factor into this, given that cocoa is listed as one of the high-risk deforestation commodities?

How will the EU Deforestation Regulation impact smallholder farmers?

The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) implementation deadline is fast approaching on 30 December 2024. Can smallholder farmers rally to meet the regulation requirements while under such time pressure, and facing other challenges such as a lack of financial resources, and technological and regulatory support?

As global demand for soy and cattle increases, how can EUDR and other legislation help prevent negative climate impacts?

In a world where deforestation management and climate conservation are becoming increasingly pressing, soybean production and cattle farming are being spotlighted. Regulations like the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and others are helping combat unsustainable soybean and cattle farming practices, but how are they faring as demand for these commodities rises globally?

The impact of EUDR on top deforestation commodities: Cocoa and coffee

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a crucial measure to reduce global deforestation caused by major EU-imported goods and commodities. Two of the top deforestation drivers include cocoa and coffee. Find out more about these commodities, their impact and what EUDR hopes to achieve as well as how Swift Geospatial is able to assist in the monitoring of cocoa plantations across the globe.

How Can Swift Geospatial play a role in EUDR Compliance?

EUDR aims to curb deforestation, forest degradation, and general environmental and human rights infractions in the production and consumption of certain imported and exported goods and commodities within the EU. Find out more about EUDR, why it matters and how Swift Geospatial can assist your business compliance through GIS and remote sensing solutions.

The Importance of Monitoring Change

Because more and more people are living in cities, this means that cities are growing and changing all the time. To manage this growth, we need to monitor change detection in cities to see what’s happening and what we need to do. Change detection monitoring means comparing pictures of cities taken from satellites or planes at different times to see what has changed, like new buildings, land use changes, or changes in green areas.
