Deforestation-Free Coffee Supply Chains: How Adena Coffee, Powered by Koltiva, Ensures EUDR Compliance and Transparency

In today’s coffee industry, trust is as valuable as taste. Buyers across Europe, Asia, and the Americas demand more than premium beans, they require end-to-end supply chain visibility, verified sourcing, and compliance with stringent regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). For producers, this means embracing digital transformation to stay competitive and compliant.

Adena Coffee: Exporting Trust Beyond Beans

From the remote hills of Gayo, Adena Coffee has built a reputation for quality and integrity. Exporting to four continents, they understand that sustainability and transparency are no longer optional, they are essential.

“Our work at Adena Coffee with Koltiva has laid a strong digital foundation, ensuring every bean we export is not only premium but also verifiably deforestation-free. Equipped with digital tools, our field teams can capture, manage, and report EUDR-aligned data directly from over 30 villages. This approach enables us to support more than 1,900 smallholders and ensure the hashtag#traceability of 240 tonnes of high-quality coffee annually. Beyond compliance, it’s our commitment to transparency and the preservation of Indonesia’s coffee heritage,” said Abyatar - Founder & CEO Adena Coffee.

Why Traceability Matters for Deforestation-Free Coffee Businesses

Global buyers are raising the bar. Compliance with EUDR and other sustainability standards is now

a non-negotiable prerequisite for market access. Without structured data, verified sourcing, and digital traceability, coffee businesses risk losing access to lucrative global markets.

But traceability goes beyond meeting regulations—it’s about building trust, protecting brand reputation, and unlocking premium opportunities. For coffee businesses, adopting a traceability platform like Koltiva means:

• Stay compliant with EUDR and other international sustainability standards

• Mitigate risks by identifying and addressing deforestation before it impacts your supply chain

• Showcase transparency and sustainability to attract conscious buyers and strengthen brand value

In a world where buyers demand proof, digital traceability is your competitive edge. It ensures every bean tells a story of compliance, sustainability, and trust—connecting producers to global markets with confidence.

How Koltiva Supports Adena Coffee

To meet evolving buyer demands and ensure EUDR compliance, Koltiva delivers a comprehensive digital ecosystem tailored for coffee supply chains:

• Digitizing producers and plot-level data collection, even in remote areas

• Promoting sustainable practices through field engagement, tailored coaching, and risk assessments for EUDR requirements

• Linking producers to a unified digital ecosystem for full traceability from origin to buyer

• Enabling deforestation risk mapping and legality checks for EUDR alignment

• Recording traceable transactions from farm gate to factory gate

The result? One of Indonesia’s EUDR-ready coffee shipments will be fully traceable, verified, and market-ready.

The Bigger Picture: Sustainability and Heritage

By partnering with Koltiva, Adena Coffee is not only meeting compliance requirements but also safeguarding Indonesia’s coffee heritage. Digital traceability empowers smallholders, uplifts livelihoods, and ensures that sustainability is embedded in every step of the supply chain.

With Adena Coffee, we’ve integrated digital tools like KoltiTrace and FarmXtension to map farmer plots, verify legality, and monitor deforestation risks across 30+ villages. This support ensures real-time visibility into coffee supply chain dynamics, while equipping field agents and coffee farmers with the capabilities to meet regulatory benchmarks without compromising local wisdom,” said Adhiet Yogi Utomo, our Business Development Manager
