A partnership between agtech firm Dimitra and Kenya’s National Coffee Cooperative Union aims to help over one million Kenyan coffee farmers comply with the European Union's Deforestation Regulation by 2025. The initiative uses Dimitra's AI-powered platform to enable farmers to register their farms, assess deforestation risk, and generate compliance reports, ensuring continued access to EU markets, which constitute over 50% of Kenya's coffee exports. The platform supports offline use in remote regions, promoting digital inclusion and positioning Kenya as a leader in sustainable agricultural exports.
