Editor's Note: A geolocation pin and a supplier declaration used to be enough to call a shipment "EUDR-ready." What regulators and buyers actually want to see now is not just information on who produced or supplied the product and where it was grown, but also whether the plot was legally producing before the applicable cutoff date, how the risk was assessed, and whether the paperwork lines up cleanly enough to survive an audit. Most sourcing teams in cocoa, coffee, palm oil,

As climate change, evolving regulations, and responsible sourcing reshape the cocoa industry, Asia-Pacific is demonstrating how sustainable cocoa supply chains can move beyond compliance. Explore how digital traceability, geospatial intelligence, farmer capacity building, and sustainability intelligence help businesses strengthen resilience, improve transparency, and create measurable impact across global cocoa sourcing.

Editor’s Note: Vietnam’s coffee sector has long been defined by scale. Today, its next phase of competitiveness will be defined by proof. As global buyers, regulators, and financiers increasingly demand verified origin, deforestation-free sourcing, and emissions transparency, access to premium markets such as the European Union is no longer determined solely by price or volume. Instead, it hinges on data integrity, digital traceability, and the ability to demonstrate sustain

This publication is adopted from: https://scopi.or.id/storage/scp-newsletters/December2025/RphE69usDXugBtGDKy1m.pdf As global coffee markets raise expectations for sustainability and transparency, producers and exporters are facing a new reality shaped by increasingly stringent regulations. Coffee is now covered under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), requiring exporters and roasters to demonstrate that every shipment is legally produced, fully traceable, and free from

As palm-oil demand rises, the sector must boost productivity without expanding into forests—starting at the first mile. Despite producing 85% of global supply, smallholders in Indonesia and Malaysia still face major barriers to training, finance, and traceability. Published alongside Koltiva’s participation at RSPO Roundtable 2025, this article builds on insights from Fanny Butler, Senior Head of Markets (EMEA), to explore how inclusive, field-ready Agriculture 4.0—grounded i

Executive Summary 60% — that’s how much the global seafood profit could grow (from an estimated USD 76 billion) if traceability were implemented across all doable species and regions (Planet Tracker, 2022). The integrity of the global seafood supply chain is undermined by the dominance of Small-Scale Fishers (SSF) in major exporting nations and the continued reliance on fragmented, non-interoperable digital systems. This results in significant data gaps and unreliability, as

Learn how geospatial data is essential for EUDR compliance—enabling traceability, deforestation verification, and sustainable, transparent supply chains, and access EU markets.

Geospatial technology is transforming how companies manage supply chain transparency, providing precise, real-time data to monitor land use and detect deforestation risks. In this interview, our Remote Sensing & Climate Lead, Dimas Perceka, draws on his geospatial expertise to unpack the EUDR's requirements and showcase how our innovative solutions, particularly the Land Use Tracker (LUT), empower businesses to navigate this complex regulatory landscape. We believe that compl
