By Lê Việt DũngHÀ NỘI — Việt Nam is ready to enlist as an ally in the EU's fight against deforestation to showcase its dedication to environmental responsibility. He said the landmark EU deforestation regulation (EUDR), formally adopted on May 16, would pose new challenges to Vietnamese smallholder farmers in regard to due diligence procedures. "I'm really happy to see that Việt Nam shares this high ambition on biodiversity and climate," Florika Fink-Hooijer said. The deforestation risk linked to Vietnamese coffee when assessed by a global heavyweight was only half that when assessed by the Global Forest Watch," Chi said. "PPP will play a vital role in the country's effort to fight deforestation, given the predominance of smallholders in the sector," Tuấn said.
