Sankora at a glance

Born in Abidjan, built for the field.

Sankora is designed and developed by Kaada Group in Abidjan, with teams who know cooperatives, marketing seasons and field constraints. One farmer register serves traceability, EU regulation compliance and sustainability programmes.

What sets Sankora apart

One register

Traceability, EUDR, child protection and programmes share the same farmers and plots: nothing is entered twice.

Proof, not promises

Sankora never makes up coordinates. A lot is compliant only if all its weight comes from compliant plots.

The four-eyes rule

Whoever drafts an assessment or prepares a statement does not approve it: a second person always checks.

Field first

Data4Child forms on Android without a network, cash or mobile money payments never blocked, screens designed for field officers.

Separated data

Each organisation sees only its own data and chooses what it shares. Children's data stays restricted.

A team close to you

An Ivorian software company, working in French and English, that trains your teams in the office and in the villages.

EU Deforestation Regulation

The EUDR timeline, step by step.

Cocoa, coffee, rubber, oil palm, soy and their derived products sold in the European Union will have to come from plots that were not deforested, are geolocated and are covered by a due diligence statement. Here are the dates that matter, and what they change for you.

—days until the rules apply to large and medium companies

  1. Cut-off date

    The deforestation cut-off date

    A product is compliant only if it comes from a plot that was neither deforested nor degraded after 31 December 2020. Satellite analysis compares today's forest cover with that date.

    For you : Every one of your farmers' plots must be geolocated so it can be checked against this date.

  2. Entry into force

    Regulation (EU) 2023/1115

    The text covers seven commodities: cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soy and wood, and their derived products. It requires due diligence: collecting information, including geolocation, then assessing and mitigating risk.

    For you : European buyers started asking their suppliers for plot coordinates.

  3. First simplification

    Regulation (EU) 2025/2650

    The timeline moves back by one year. Only the operator who first places the product on the market submits the statement; downstream operators and traders keep the reference numbers. Micro and small primary operators can use a simplified declaration.

    For you : Your buyer or exporter remains responsible for the statement, but it depends on your field data.

  4. Simplification review

    The dates are confirmed

    The European Commission published its review, updated its guidance and FAQ, and ruled out any further delay. The EU Information System, where statements are submitted, reopened at the end of June 2026.

    For you : There is no reason left to wait: checks start on the planned dates.

  5. Application

    Large and medium companies

    Medium and large operators and traders must submit a due diligence statement for each placing on the market. Côte d'Ivoire is classified as standard risk: full due diligence applies and authorities check a share of operators every year.

    For you : Your lots must be linked to compliant plots before shipment, not after.

  6. Application

    Micro and small companies

    The smallest operators, outside the timber sector, apply the regulation in turn, with a simplified declaration for primary operators.

    For you : Small cooperatives and small exporters get six more months, not an exemption.

  7. Wider scope

    New derived products

    A delegated act adopted in July 2026 adds products such as soluble coffee and certain palm oil derivatives, and removes others from the scope, such as leather.

    For you : If you supply coffee or palm oil processors, they will ask you for the same proof.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about the EUDR and Sankora.

Answers to the questions cooperatives, exporters, buyers and programmes ask us most often.

The EU regulation

What is the EUDR?

Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 bans placing on the EU market, or exporting from it, products linked to deforestation. Companies must prove, through due diligence, that what they sell comes from plots that were not deforested and were produced legally.

Which products are covered?

Cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soy and wood, and the derived products listed in Annex I: chocolate, cocoa butter, palm oil, tyres, furniture, etc. Soluble coffee and certain palm oil derivatives are added on 30 December 2027.

When does the regulation apply?

On 30 December 2026 for large and medium companies, and on 30 June 2027 for micro and small companies outside the timber sector. In May 2026 the Commission confirmed there would be no further delay.

What does 31 December 2020 mean?

It is the cut-off date: the plot must not have been deforested or degraded after that day. A plot planted on forest cleared in 2021 cannot supply the European market.

Who must submit a due diligence statement?

The operator who first places the product on the EU market, or exports it. Downstream operators and traders keep the references of their suppliers and customers for five years.

Is a GPS point enough, or is a polygon needed?

A GPS point is enough for a plot of 4 hectares or less. Above that, the full plot boundary is mandatory. Sankora shows you which plots still need a polygon.

Is Côte d'Ivoire a risk country?

It is classified as standard risk by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093. Full due diligence therefore applies: information, risk assessment and, where needed, mitigation measures.

What happens to a company that does not comply?

Member States set the penalties: fines of up to at least 4% of annual turnover in the EU, confiscation of products and revenue, temporary exclusion from public procurement. For a supplier, the most immediate risk is losing its buyers.

Are cashew, banana and shea covered?

No, these value chains are outside the EUDR. Their buyers increasingly ask for the same traceability anyway, under their due diligence duties or certifications: Sankora works the same way for them.

Sankora and compliance

How does Sankora check that a plot was not deforested?

Each polygon is compared with 2020 forest cover and deforestation alerts on satellite imagery, and with protected areas. Doubtful cases are flagged for review; an assessment is approved only by a second person.

What does Sankora do when a plot has a problem?

The plot is quarantined and sent back for correction. Sankora never makes up coordinates: everything that goes into a file was recorded in the field.

How do I know whether a lot is compliant?

A lot is compliant only if all its weight comes from compliant plots. Every weighing is linked to a plot, every bag goes back to its farmer, and a mixed lot is flagged before shipment.

Does Sankora submit the statement in TRACES for us?

No. Sankora prepares a complete Annex II file, with geolocation in the EU system format, checked by a second person. Your company submits it and remains responsible for it.

Do all my cooperatives have to use Sankora?

No. An exporter can receive its partner cooperatives' data in Sankora, and each cooperative decides what it shares.

In the field

Does the app work without a network?

Yes for Data4Child data collection: field officers fill in forms on Android without a connection, and they are sent automatically once the network is back. Plot surveys made with your GPS tools are then imported into Sankora, which checks them.

Can we bring in our existing data?

Yes. Your farmer and plot lists can be imported from Excel, and your boundaries from KML, GeoJSON or GPX files. Every imported polygon goes through the same control rules, and simple errors are fixed automatically.

How are farmers paid?

In cash, by mobile money, bank transfer or cheque. The app never blocks a payment, and payment proofs are optional.

Is Data4Child mandatory?

No. Data4Child is a Sankora module for child labour monitoring and remediation (CLMRS). You switch it on if you need it, on the same farmer register.

Data and security

Who can see our data?

Each organisation sees only its own data and decides what it shares. Children's personal data is restricted to the monitoring manager and management; buyers only receive anonymised statistics.

Can we export our data?

Yes. The plot register can be exported to Excel and polygons to GeoJSON, with an option to anonymise names.

Which languages is Sankora available in?

French and English, for the web application and the documents it produces.

Our offer

How is Sankora priced?
