The clock is already running
The 2020 cut-off means the plots you map today already need deforestation-free history behind them.

Piloting in Africa and South America with producers, cooperatives and exporters. Open beta through October 2026, so expect the occasional rough edge while we build with early partners.
- Farmer-owned data
- Offline-first capture
- Identity preserved
- Open architecture
Why EUDR first
Geolocation is the requirement everything else rests on
Every actor depends on geolocation that holds up. Tracebud turns field capture into identity-preserved evidence the whole chain can reuse.
- Farmers keep ownership, with no automatic lock-in
- Origins stay tied to real GPS coordinates
- Pre-flight checks catch issues before you file
Identity preserved
Batches stay linked to contributing plots, end to end.
How the chain reaches a farm
Nobody has to reach the plot alone.
Each tier invites the next one down. The evidence comes back up the same chain you already buy through.
An invitation is a request, not access. A supplier chooses what they share, a tier that declines shows as a named gap, and producers never pay.
How it works
Take one lot from first plot to EU filing
Four stages, each one handing its evidence to the next. Step through any of them to see what the work actually looks like.
01 · Capture · Farmers & field agents
Map the plot once, offline.
You end with a boundary, its area, and a plot identity that travels with every buyer request.
If you already collected data
Polygons you already paid for are not wasted.
Boundaries from a consultant, a certifier or another platform import in bulk, with land papers and labour evidence attached to the plots they belong to. Screening runs the moment they land, so you see straight away which of them already hold up.
GeoJSON · 4.2 MB · one upload
2,847plots imported
- On the map — boundaries drawn, areas computed
- Screened against the 2020 cut-off — 2,791 clean, 56 flagged for review
- Evidence attached — land papers and declarations land with their plots
GeoJSON, KML, CSV or a full package — templates for every format. Errors show before anything is saved.
02 · Verify · Cooperatives & reviewers
Check it the way a buyer would.
You end with a result on every plot, and a named gap wherever something is missing.
03 · Package · Facilities & exporters
Keep identity through the lot.
You end with a lot whose every kilo still traces back to a named plot.
04 · File · Importers & brands
File it, and keep the reference.
You end with a submitted statement, its reference number, and five years of retention behind it.
The requirements
Build a statement that holds up on all five points
- 01
Geolocation of every plot
Coordinates for all plots of land where the commodity was produced, as polygons above 4 hectares.
Captured offline in the Field App, canopy-aware
- 02
Deforestation-free since 2020
Evidence that production did not occur on land deforested after 31 December 2020.
Multi-temporal satellite screening plus photo ground-truth
- 03
Legality in the country of production
Proof the commodity was produced in line with the relevant laws of the producer country.
Documents and consent collected against each plot
- 04
Risk assessment and mitigation
A documented assessment, and mitigation steps where risk is not negligible.
Pre-flight checks and yield-cap alerts before you file
- 05
Records kept for five years
Due diligence statements, evidence and reference numbers retained and produceable on request.
Five-year retention designed in, exportable per shipment
EU Information System

What the importer actually files. Every numbered line is assembled from the record, not retyped.
