New EU regulations on deforestation could lead to the destruction of large reserves of coffee and cocoa stored in port facilities as they may be considered non-compliant. The Intercontinental Exchange and the International Trade Center have warned that coffee and cocoa stored in the EU during the transition period could be seen as non-compliant and would need to be sold outside of the EU or destroyed. This has raised concerns about the potential disruption to the industry and the supply chain from producer to consumer.
