### Description

Encompasses digital systems for tracking coffee from farm to export, including geolocation, lot identification, and deforestation-free verification. This enabling category is critical for EUDR compliance and underpins green-finance eligibility across the entire Latin American coffee supply chain.

### Colombia Context

EUDR Article 9 requires that all coffee entering the EU market be traceable to specific plots of land with GPS coordinates and a deforestation-free declaration. Colombia's IDEAM operates the Sistema de Monitoreo de Bosques y Carbono (SMByC), which provides the official forest-cover baselines against which deforestation claims are validated. The Federacion Nacional de Cafeteros maintains a cedula cafetera system covering 540,000+ producers, but digital lot-level traceability remains patchy outside export-grade specialty channels. SISCLIMA integrates IDEAM data with sectoral emissions inventories, creating the MRV backbone that traceability startups can plug into.

### EUDR Relevance

This node directly addresses the EUDR's due-diligence obligations for coffee. Article 9 mandates plot-level geolocation, identification of all suppliers in the chain, and a risk assessment confirming zero deforestation post-2020. Colombian traceability systems must interface with IDEAM's SMByC deforestation monitoring and the EU's upcoming information system for due-diligence statements.

### CTH Data Coverage

Two CLP cohort startups are building coffee traceability platforms — one focused on blockchain-based lot tracking for specialty exporters, another on low-cost GPS tagging for smallholder cooperatives. CLP cohort data provides product-market fit signals for EUDR compliance tools targeting the Colombian coffee sector.

### Green Finance Alignment

Partially aligned with TVC as an enabling activity rather than a standalone green investment. Not directly CBI-eligible but essential infrastructure for green bond frameworks in the coffee sector. Qualifies under CPI's cross-cutting MRV category for climate finance tracking.
