The European Green Deal as a vector of international agricultural trade transformation: structural and regulatory impacts on Colombia’s coffee and palm oil sectors
Download
Abstract
This article analyzes the impact of the European Green Deal on Colombian agribusiness, focusing on the coffee and palm oil sectors. It examines the key European legal instruments that affect agricultural trade and identifies the trade barriers arising from new environmental standards. Based on a sectoral diagnosis, it highlights the structural limitations of complying with regulations such as the EU Deforestation-Free Regulation. The article proposes institutional, financial, and productive adaptation strategies aimed at enabling a sustainable transition and preserving access to the European market.Keywords:
