Advancing EUDR Compliance with Transparent Supply Chains and Robust Due Diligence
Data Collection
Companies placing products on the EU market need to collect relevant information about commodities and products, including:
-
Geolocation of plots and information on suppliers.
-
Evidence that the products do not originate from land deforested after 31 December 2020.
-
Proof that it was produced and traded legally according to the country of production.
Risk Assessment
The EU categorizes countries by deforestation risk (low, standard, high), influencing the regulatory requirements.
Examples of criteria include:
-
Presence of forests in the country/production area and rate of deforestation and degradation
-
Complexity of the supply chain and risk of mixing product from non-compliant sources
Companies must document and review the risk assessment at least once a year
Risk Mitigation
Take adequate mitigation measures, policies, controls and procedures to reach no or negligible risk.
This can include:
-
Independent audit function to check internal policies and procedures
-
Requesting additional documentation or other verification surveys
-
Support the compliance of suppliers, in particular smallholders, through capacity building and investments
Companies must review the risk mitigation measures at least once a year
Due Diligence Statement (DDS)
Key Pain Points Across the End-to-End
Supply Chains
Poor Data Quality in Shipment Data
Invalid polygons, overlaps, and missing Due Diligence Reports (DDR) require manual GeoJSON checks. This limits first-mile traceability, leaving downstream actors without origin-level visibility and complicating efforts to ensure transparency and EUDR compliance across supply chains.
Fragmented
Data Storage
Plot data and risk documentation are spread across multiple sources, making it difficult to manage, retrieve, and verify. This decentralization hinders traceability, increases audit challenges, and prevents efficient, consistent compliance workflows across diverse suppliers and sourcing regions.
Manual Compliance Burden Due to Lack of Automation
ERP platforms often lack EUDR-specific tools, leading to resource-heavy manual verification of supplier data. Without automation, detecting overlapping plots or invalid entries becomes slow and error-prone, delaying compliance and increasing operational costs for companies managing complex supply chains.
Lack of Visibility in
Multi-Tier Sourcing
Working with intermediaries and multi-tier suppliers using inconsistent data systems weakens traceability. This lack of transparency complicates due diligence, increases EUDR compliance risks, and makes it harder to implement standardized monitoring, verification, and documentation across supply chain actors.

Supply Chain Mapping
Geolocation data is essential for due diligence statements to ensure EUDR compliance by verifying product origins and evaluating deforestation risks.
KoltiTrace supports the collection of polygon data or GPS coordinates, tailored to each client’s needs.
If your company already possesses GeoJSON data with plot locations and sizes, KoltiTrace can conduct an initial, basic EUDR compliance check. This enables you to determine the next steps in your risk assessment process.
By streamlining data collection and validation, KoltiTrace accelerates shipment reporting and delivers immediate visibility into potential deforestation risks.
Koltiva’s Risk Assessment solution combines deforestation analysis, preliminary legality checks, and traceability tracking to identify non-compliant actors across your supply chain.
All findings are centralized in the EUDR Compliance Dashboard, enabling your team to produce accurate, audit-ready Due Diligence Statements with confidence.

Integrated EUDR & NDPE Filters – Identify non-compliant farmers using cut-off dates, peatland maps, and NDPE filters directly within your supply chain view.
Automated Deforestation Checks – Machine learning-powered detection with the EUDR map, plus optional overlays from JRC, GFW, and SBTN for comparison.
Legality Verification – Validate plot legality by overlaying official national or global maps indicating land approved for cultivation.
Desktop Verification Tool – Minimize false positives by confirming deforestation alerts with high-resolution satellite imagery via a desktop verification tool.
Ground-Level Action for EUDR Compliance. We deliver effective risk mitigation through boots-on-the-ground extension services, enabling companies to act directly in the first mile of global value chains.
With hundreds of trained Field Agents deployed across key sourcing regions, we work side-by-side to close data gaps, correct non-compliance, and implement sustainable practices.

Farmer & Household-Level Profiling. Our field teams collect essential farmer data, including name, address, and contact details, along with household member and laborer information to understand role dynamics and assess potential human rights risks.
Plot Assessment. Koltiva’s comprehensive farm survey evaluates sustainable farming practices while gathering key insights on production potential, farm diversity, land legality, soil health, and environmental risks. Additional surveys on GHG emissions and living income are also available.
Geo-Reference Mapping. Using GPS points or polygon mapping, Koltiva’s field agents walk plot boundaries to accurately map each farm. Geo-referenced data supports land legality claims and can be compared against NDPE policy cut-off dates and regulatory requirements
