Abstract
La normativa de la Unión Europea (UE) – Reglamento (UE) 2023/1115, que a partir de finales de 2025 permitirá la importación únicamente de commodities libres de deforestación, transformará la arquitectura del mercado agroalimentario en el que participa el Perú con productos como café, cacao y palma aceitera. Este artículo analiza el caso del café, examinando la situación actual de la producción en la cadena de valor y la relevancia del mercado europeo en la generación de beneficios económicos, sociales y ambientales. Históricamente, los atributos ambientales del café se validan de manera voluntaria mediante certificaciones como café orgánico o amigable con la biodiversidad (p. ej., Smithsonian Bird Friendly Coffee). Sin embargo, la nueva regulación exige una validación obligatoria de «café libre de deforestación» (CLD). Esta medida representa tanto desafíos como oportunidades para el Perú, y requiere una estrecha articulación entre los sectores público y privado. El estudio propone recomendaciones clave, incluyendo la promoción de servicios ecosistémicos y la superación de restricciones estructurales para facilitar la adaptación del sector cafetalero peruano a este nuevo paradigma de mercado.
The European Union’s new regulation – (UE) 2023/1115, which will allow only deforestation-free commodities to be imported starting in late 2025, will significantly impact the structure of the agri-food market, where Peru plays a role as an exporter of coffee, cocoa, and oil palm. This paper focuses on the case of coffee, analyzing the production in the current value chain dynamics and the European market's role in generating economic, social, and environmental benefits. Previously, coffee’s environmental attributes were voluntarily validated through organic or biodiversity-friendly certifications (e.g., Smithsonian Bird Friendly Coffee). However, the new regulation mandates compulsory validation as «deforestation-free coffee» (CLD). This shift presents both challenges and opportunities for Peru, requiring strong coordination between the public and private sectors. The study outlines key recommendations, including the promotion of ecosystem services and overcoming structural barriers to enable Peru’s coffee sector to adapt to this evolving market landscape.
