    "content": "Part (c) is on which Government institution is responsible for managing the geolocation information. The geospatial data on coffee shall be hosted at the AFA Coffee Directorate for ease of data management, storage, retrieval and dissemination. There shall be continuous update of the database through periodic ground truthing. Where need be, the geodata collected will be assessed by the authorized parties to inform generations of due diligence statements for coffee exports to the EU market. Part (d) is on whether there is any budgetary allocation for maintaining a comprehensive and accessible database for geolocation data. Currently, there is no budget allocation for maintenance of a comprehensive and accessible database for geological data on land under coffee production. However, the office of the Cabinet Secretary National Treasury and Economic Planning and the Cabinet Secretary Co-operatives and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Development, the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs and the Attorney General have developed a Cabinet Memo to be presented to the next Cabinet on the EU regulation requirement. This memo is projected to appraise the Cabinet on the compliance requirements of the EU regulation on deforestation and forest degradation on Kenyan coffee access to the EU market. This memo seeks Cabinet approval for budgetary allocation towards the collection of geodatabases for all coffee growers, coffee farm cooperatives and estate processing factories in Kenya, to facilitate preparation of due diligence statements. I have already signed this memo out and is now in circulation. As we sit here, it is at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora Affairs for signing before submission to the Cabinet for approval."
