The entry into force of the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) has marked a turning point for the entire coffee industry and has opened a debate between the evident need for regulatory compliance and the practical challenges of its implementation. Recently, the European Commission published new updates that simplify the procedures required from smaller actors in the supply chain, while maintaining the enforcement date of December 30, 2025.

The countdown has begun for HostMilano, one of the most prominent international events in the sector, taking place from October 17 to 21. At Xorxios, we have everything ready for our participation as a specialty green coffee importing company and experts in certified sector training.

In recent years, the specialty coffee sector has undergone many changes in the way coffee beans are processed. Beyond the traditional methods that have ensured quality and consistency for decades, innovation at this stage of production has given rise to a booming trend: experimental coffee processing methods. These techniques are opening up a universe of sensory and commercial possibilities within the sector and producers are using them to differentiate their coffees and respond to the ever-growing demand from consumers.
