01The EUDR requires geolocation
Every product sold in the European Union must be linked to the plots where it was produced. A GPS point is enough up to 4 hectares; beyond that, a polygon is required. Without a geolocated register, no statement is possible.
02Field surveys are often flawed
Unclosed polygons, GPS spikes, overlaps, swapped coordinates: surveys from several providers contain errors. When the buyer finds them, whole lots are held up.
03Duplicates distort volumes
A farmer registered twice can deliver more than their plots produce. These gaps undermine the whole organisation's credibility with its buyers.
04History must stay accurate
A plot changes hands, a polygon gets corrected. Years later, you must still be able to show the exact situation on the day of each purchase.
