EUDR compliance and traceability services for Indonesian palm oil, coffee, cocoa, rubber and wood: plot mapping, deforestation checks and data for DDS.
EUDR compliance and traceability services help Indonesian exporters and their EU buyers prove that palm oil, coffee, cocoa, rubber and wood are deforestation-free, legal and traceable to the plot, as Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 requires. We map plots, check them against the 31 December 2020 cut-off, and package the evidence your buyer needs for a due diligence statement.
Who it is for
- Indonesian exporters, processors and cooperatives selling to the EU or to EU-bound buyers.
- EU operators and traders sourcing from Indonesian smallholders.
- Supply-chain programmes and NGOs supporting smallholder readiness.
The problem it solves
The European Commission states that the EUDR applies from 30 December 2026. Indonesian supply chains are dominated by smallholders selling through collectors, with informal land tenure and no plot maps. Buyers need geolocation for every plot, a deforestation check against the cut-off date, legality evidence and segregated product flows. Mass balance is not accepted.
What we deliver
- Supply-base mapping: who supplies what, through which collectors, down to plot level.
- Farmer registration with consent in AKAR dMRV, see farmer registration and consent.
- Plot geolocation: GPS points for small plots, polygons for plots over 4 ha, using RTK where accuracy matters.
- Deforestation risk checks of every plot against satellite land-cover history since the cut-off, see satellite verification.
- Legality review against Indonesian land, permit and labour requirements.
- Traceability design: segregation and batch-tracking options that fit your operation.
- Buyer data package: GeoJSON files and evidence summaries ready for the operator’s due diligence statement.
- Gap assessment and remediation plan for plots that fail checks.
How it works
- Readiness assessment. We review your supply chain, existing data and buyer requests.
- Pilot. A sample of suppliers is registered, mapped and checked to test the workflow.
- Scale-up. Field teams register and map the remaining supply base.
- Checks. AKAR Eligibility runs land-cover change analysis on each plot; flagged plots are reviewed manually.
- Packaging and updates. Data exported in the buyer’s format and kept current as suppliers change.
What you provide
- Supplier lists and collection structure.
- Introductions to cooperatives, collectors and village leaders.
- Buyer requirements and data formats.
- Existing certification data (RSPO, ISPO, Rainforest Alliance) if you hold it.
Typical timeline
A readiness assessment typically takes two to four weeks. Mapping time depends on the number and spread of plots.
Tools we use
AKAR dMRV for registration and plot mapping, AKAR Eligibility for deforestation checks, AKAR Mapper for drone checks of disputed plots, and AKAR Dashboard for supply-base status.
Using the same data for carbon
Many Indonesian coffee, cocoa and rubber farms sit in agroforestry landscapes that could also host carbon projects. Plot polygons, farmer consent records and land-cover history collected for EUDR are the same building blocks a carbon project needs. We design data collection so it can be reused later, which lowers the cost of either programme. Our guide on agroforestry under the EUDR explains where the two overlap.

Frequently asked questions
When does the EUDR apply?
The European Commission states that the regulation applies from 30 December 2026. Check the Commission's EUDR page for any later changes, especially for micro and small operators.
What data does an EUDR due diligence statement need from Indonesian suppliers?
Geolocation of every production plot (a polygon for plots over 4 ha, except cattle), evidence that the land was not deforested after 31 December 2020, and evidence that production was legal under Indonesian law.
Can smallholder supply chains comply?
Yes, but it takes work. Smallholder plots must be registered with consent, mapped and checked, and product from verified plots must be kept separate. Mass balance is not accepted.
Do you submit the due diligence statement?
No. The operator placing the product on the EU market submits the statement. We help suppliers and operators collect, check and package the evidence behind it.
