Introduction
The EU Deforestation Regulation (Regulation 2023/1115) is reshaping how seven major commodity supply chains — cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, rubber, cattle and timber — reach the European market. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is in transitional phase for fertilisers, with downstream implications for fertiliser-intensive agri value chains. AfCFTA is forcing standards harmonisation across 54 African markets. Halal certification and broader GCC food import regimes add further compliance layers for exporters serving the Gulf. Asian food import regulators are tightening registration, food safety and traceability requirements.
This GLOMACS Agricultural Trade Compliance: EUDR, CBAM & Export Standards training course gives agri-exporters, trade ministries, standards bodies and FMCG sourcing teams the practical toolkit for navigating these regimes — and the strategic frameworks for using compliance as competitive advantage. The week walks through each major regime in operational detail, with original-document analysis of the regulations being taught.
Objectives
By the end of this Agricultural Trade Compliance: EUDR, CBAM & Export Standards training course, delegates will be able to:
• Apply EUDR (Regulation 2023/1115) due-diligence requirements to a specific commodity supply chain
• Implement farm-level geolocation and traceability systems meeting EUDR standards
• Assess CBAM exposure for fertiliser-intensive agri value chains
• Navigate Halal certification and broader GCC food import compliance regimes
• Apply GlobalG.A.P., Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade and emerging certification schemes
• Conduct AfCFTA-aligned export readiness assessments
• Design supplier due-diligence and monitoring systems
• Use compliance as competitive positioning for premium-market access
