### Description

Covers the production of coffee using climate-smart, shade-grown, and deforestation-free practices. Colombia is the world's third-largest coffee producer with over 540,000 farming families, making sustainable reconversion a critical lever for both emissions reduction and rural livelihood resilience across LATAM.

### Colombia Context

Colombia's Taxonomia Verde classifies sustainable coffee reconversion (reconversion productiva sostenible de cafe) as a priority green activity under the agropecuario sector, requiring shade management and zero-deforestation commitments. The NDC 2030 targets an 11.2 MtCO2e reduction in the agriculture sector, with coffee reconversion identified as a key pathway by MADR and the Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros. Ley 2169 (2021) Art. 21 provides fiscal incentives for producers adopting certified sustainable practices. SISCLIMA tracks coffee-related land-use emissions through IDEAM's forest monitoring system, which also supplies the geolocation data required under EUDR Article 9.

### EUDR Relevance

Coffee is one of seven EUDR-regulated commodities. Colombian exporters must provide plot-level geolocation (Article 9), proof of deforestation-free status since December 31, 2020, and full supply chain traceability. IDEAM's Bosques y Cambio de Uso del Suelo system provides the forest-cover baselines required for compliance verification.

### CTH Data Coverage

Three CLP cohort startups (2023-2025 cohorts) operate in the coffee value chain, including traceability platforms and shade-grown certification tech. Sustenttia ESG diagnostics have been applied to coffee cooperatives in Huila and Cauca departments, generating baseline sustainability scores for smallholder clusters.

### Green Finance Alignment

Fully aligned with TVC agropecuario criteria for sustainable coffee. CBI Agriculture criteria apply when deforestation-free proof is provided — eligible for green bond labeling. Not directly covered by EU Taxonomy Delegated Acts, but qualifies under CPI AFOLU sustainable agriculture tracking.
