Is your company prepared to meet the EUDR requirements?
Ensure your production fully complies with EUDR requirements to access the European market.
What is the EUDR?
The EUDR (European Union Deforestation Regulation) requires that, starting December 30, 2025, companies exporting agricultural and forestry products to the EU must prove these products do not originate from areas deforested or degraded after December 31, 2020, and that they comply with the laws of the country of origin.
Which Commodities Are Subject to EUDR Rules?
Impact:
The forestry sector will be heavily regulated. All wood products, such as sawn timber, plywood, paper, and furniture, must have geographical traceability to the exact harvest area.
Obligation:
Companies will need to prove that harvesting did not occur in areas deforested or degraded after December 31, 2020. They must also demonstrate compliance with the environmental and land laws of the country of origin.
Challenge:
The primary challenge will be to implement reliable tracking systems and ensure the possession of valid land documentation.
Impact:
The entire cocoa supply chain, including chocolate and its derivatives, will be subject to scrutiny regarding farm origin.
Obligation:
It will be necessary to provide the geographical location of the plantation and prove that production did not involve deforestation.
Challenge:
Many small-scale producers face limited access to technology and lack formal documentation, which complicates compliance with the new requirements.
Impact:
Raw natural rubber and some of its derivatives will be subject to rigorous traceability requirements for raw materials.
Obligation:
Companies will need to prove that extraction occurred in areas free of deforestation and that are environmentally and legally regularized.
Challenge:
The supply chain is highly fragmented and informal in several countries, which complicates control and traceability.
Impact:
This is one of the most sensitive sectors to the EUDR. Exported meat and leather must demonstrate complete traceability back to the farm of origin, proving that cattle were not raised in deforested areas.
Obligation:
Companies must provide the location of properties and conduct cross-checks with official deforestation maps.
Challenge:
The production chain is long and complex, with multiple links between birth, fattening, and slaughter, which makes traceability even more challenging.
Impact:
Palm-derived products, such as oil, cosmetics, and food, will need to prove legal origin and absence of deforestation.
Obligation:
Palm plantations must have been established before the December 31, 2020, deadline.
Challenge:
Continuous monitoring of expanding areas and land regularization are significant challenges to ensure compliance.
Impact:
All grains and their derivatives will need to be linked to plantations with proven traceability.
Obligation:
It’s necessary to provide the precise location of the farm, and also prove compliance with legal and environmental standards.
Challenge:
The large number of small-scale producers, many with low levels of digitalization, complicates control and compliance.
Impact:
Soy and its derivatives, such as feed, oil, and protein, will need to prove they were not produced in deforested areas.
Obligation:
It will be necessary to identify the producing farm, ensure compliance with the Forest Code, and confirm land tenure regularity.
Challenge:
The production chain is complex and faces strong pressure on agricultural expansion areas.

How Can ForesTracker Help Your Company Comply with the EUDR?
To meet EUDR requirements, it’s essential to follow well-defined steps and rely on robust traceability and verification systems. ForesTracker was developed to support your company through all these stages—in an integrated, secure, and EU-aligned manner.
The main requirements include:
Traceability
Companies must precisely identify the origin of products, providing the geographic coordinates of the production area to prove they do not come from areas deforested or degraded after 2020—as required by the EUDR. ForesTracker automates this step by integrating geospatial data, satellite imagery, and official records, ensuring reliable, auditable, and export-ready traceability for TraceNet, the official European Union system.
Due Diligence
Companies must conduct a continuous assessment of risks within their supply chain, considering product origin, deforestation risk, and compliance with local legislation. This assessment, along with mitigation actions, must be reviewed and updated at least once a year. With ForesTracker, your company has integrated tools for territorial risk analysis, cross-referencing public and private databases, and automatic alerts for due diligence review and updates, simplifying compliance with this requirement reliably and efficiently.
Due Diligence Statement (DDS)
Companies must submit a Due Diligence Statement (DDS) to the European Commission via the official platform, providing origin data and the geographic coordinates of production areas.
ForesTracker, supported by Arbor AI, is being prepared for native integration with TraceNet, enabling the automated, structured, and auditable submission of required information. This reduces operational effort, prevents inconsistencies, and ensures continuous compliance with EUDR standards.
Transparency and Auditing
Companies must maintain all records related to product origin and EUDR compliance for a minimum of five years, ensuring they are available for auditing at any time.
With ForesTracker, this data is organized and recorded on a blockchain, ensuring the integrity, traceability, and inviolability of information—meeting the highest international auditing and compliance standards.
Continuous Compliance Management
Companies must continuously monitor EUDR compliance through internal audits, risk analyses, and adjustments to supply chains that present a risk of deforestation or rights violations.
ForesTracker, with Arbor's analytical intelligence, automates non-compliance alerts, generates periodic reports with critical indicators, and supports the dynamic review of supply routes, enabling quick, data-driven interventions.
