The release does not isolate coffee tonnage. Coffee is a relevant commodity under the EU Deforestation Regulation. Current EU material states application from 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and later for most micro and small operators. Importer or trader obligations, customs and port handling, green-coffee quality, roasting operations and branded commercial work remain distinct responsibilities. ## KiTalent's mandate analysis - Name the legal entity and whether it first places coffee on the EU market, trades it, handles it, roasts it or sells branded product. - For due-diligence roles, define product scope, supplier data, geolocation, risk assessment, statements, controls and escalation authority. - For quality or operations roles, specify origin, specification, sampling, storage, roasting, traceability and customer decisions. ## Evidence boundary The cited evidence supports the local and sector context described above. It does not establish a specific employer's open vacancy or the size, availability, compensation or mobility of the candidate pool for this mandate. Those points must be verified against the role's scope, location and timing. ## Sources - [Eastern Adriatic Sea Port Authority, annual 2025 traffic data](https://adspmao.it/it/notiziecomunicati/dati-annuali-2025-del-sistema-portuale-delladriatico-orientale-oltre-64-milioni-di-tonnellate-movimentate) - [European Commission, EUDR implementation](https://green-forum.ec.europa.eu/nature-and-biodiversity/deforestation-regulation-implementation_en) - [EUR-Lex, consolidated Regulation (EU) 2023/1115](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1115) ## Related Links - [Trieste](/trieste-friuli-venezia-giulia-italy-executive-search) - [Italy](/italy-executive-search) - [Milan Professional Services: Define the Practice and Delivery Mandate](/articles/milan-professional-services-talent) - [Milan Financial Services: Define the Regulated Business Mandate](/articles/milan-financial-services-hiring-paradox) - [Milan Fashion Hiring: Separate Brand, Industrial and Supply-Chain Leadership](/articles/milan-luxury-fashion-talent-split) - [Quebec City's Insurance Sector Cut Hundreds of Jobs and Still Cannot Hire the People It Needs](/articles/quebec-city-insurance-talent-gap) Published on: March 2026 Updated on: 2026-04-12 Author of record [KiTalent Research Team](/authors/kitalent-research-team) Market Intelligence Produced by KiTalent Research.
