Question 1

What is the EUDR?

Accepted Answer

The EUDR (European Union Regulation 2023/1115) bans importing into Europe products such as coffee, cocoa, palm, rubber, wood, soy and cattle if they come from land deforested after 31 December 2020.

Question 2

What is the Due Diligence Statement (DDS)?

Accepted Answer

It is the document the operator or importer submits to the European Union to prove their product is deforestation-free. BioAurea prepares the package with the satellite evidence, the plot geolocation and the land carbon.

Question 3

How does BioAurea verify that a plot complies with the EUDR?

Accepted Answer

It cross-checks the plot polygon with the forest maps the European Union recognizes (Hansen GFC and JRC TMF, 30 m) plus high-resolution verification with Sentinel-2 (10 m). The land is eligible if forest loss after 31 Dec 2020 is below 2%.

Question 4

Does it work for coffee, cocoa, palm and rubber from Colombia?

Accepted Answer

Yes. BioAurea focuses on Colombia's agroforestry export products and delivers the per-farm verdict plus the document ready for the filing before the EU (TRACES NT).
