Understand the new rules. Protect market access. Stay ahead of enforcement.
The EU Deforestation Regulation introduces strict rules ensuring that beef entering the European market is fully traceable and linked to land that has remained free from deforestation since the end of 2020.
This applies across the entire supply chain: every property where cattle lived, every movement, every link between plot and product.For many operators, this is the first time location data and land-use history must be digitally proven — not just declared.
All relevant plots must be identified through precise polygon mapping. Coordinates become the foundation upon which every subsequent compliance requirement is built.
Regulators and importers will assess a property’s deforestation history using remote-sensing datasets, land-use archives, and deforestation-risk overlays. Gaps or inconsistencies increase the probability of shipment rejection.
Each consignment must include a compliance dossier demonstrating traceability, legality, and full adherence to land-use criteria. These dossiers become auditable assets — externally, by EU authorities, and internally, by buyers seeking to manage their own downstream exposure.
No part of the beef ecosystem is untouched.
The regulation does not rely on trust, it relies on verifiable, audit-ready data.
