EUDR Compliance for EU Coffee and Cocoa Importers

By 30 December 2026, every EU operator placing Colombian coffee, cocoa, or palm oil on the European market must submit a verified Due Diligence Statement (DDS) to the EU TRACES system — or face fines of up to 4% of EU turnover.

Origo is CleantechHUB’s EUDR data platform, built specifically for Latin American supply chains. We do not sell compliance software. We deliver the verified DDS your imports require: farm-level geolocation, IDEAM deforestation check, JRC polygon mapping, FPIC documentation, and TRACES-ready formatting.

What does EUDR require from EU importers?

EU importers must collect plot-level geolocation data for all covered commodities, conduct a deforestation risk assessment, verify legal compliance with country-of-origin laws, and submit a Due Diligence Statement (DDS) to the EU TRACES system before placing goods on the EU market.

Why is Colombian coffee supply chain verification particularly complex?

Colombian coffee is predominantly grown by smallholder farmers in agroforestry systems (shade-grown coffee). Standard satellite forest maps misclassify these systems as deforestation risk. Origo includes purpose-built agroforestry validation using IDEAM ground-truth data — the only EUDR platform with this capability for Colombian supply chains.

How does Origo’s DDS service work?

  1. Share your supplier list — Origo maps your Colombian supply chain
  2. Farm GPS registration — plot-level polygons collected via field app
  3. IDEAM + JRC verification — automated deforestation check per farm
  4. FPIC documentation — ILO 169-compliant consent records
  5. DDS generation — EU 2023/1731-compliant document produced
  6. Submission — PDF for manual TRACES submission or direct API (when available)
  7. 5-year archive — mandatory EUDR retention included

Frequently Asked Questions

Who must submit the DDS — the importer or the exporter?

Under the revised EUDR (December 2025), only the first EU market placer submits the DDS. Subsequent traders reference the DDS number without resubmitting. In practice, the EU importer or their EU-based trading house is responsible.

Does Origo support commodities other than coffee?

Yes. Origo supports all seven EUDR-covered commodities for Colombian supply chains: coffee, cocoa, cattle, palm oil, soya, rubber, and wood.

What happens if the EUDR deadline is extended again?

Origo’s farm-level data infrastructure is valuable beyond EUDR — the same verified polygon data serves as the baseline for AFOLU carbon projects and CSRD supply chain reporting.
