High Range Coffee Curing, located in the lush forests of Periyapatna and Kushalnagar Coorg districts, is set to become the first farm in India verified by the Rainforest Alliance to export EUDR-ready coffee beans to Europe. This significant move aligns with the new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), emphasizing sustainable practices and traceability in the coffee industry. High Range Coffee Curing, established in 1995, supplies coffee to top brands and roasters globally. The Rainforest Alliance played a crucial role in guiding the farm through the compliance process of EUDR, which includes stringent checks on supply chains and deforestation risks. This initiative not only meets new regulatory demands but also supports sustainable growth and sets a precedent for other farms in the region.
