EUDR Compliance for Cattle, Beef & Leather Supply Chains

Cattle is one of the highest-risk EUDR commodity groups: the regulation covers live cattle, beef, and derived products including leather and hides. AVN Earth applies the same plot-level mapping and verification methodology we've built for coffee and cocoa to cattle supply chains, so importers and tanneries can trace product back to a specific grazing plot rather than a country or district.

Why cattle needs plot-level evidence

Cattle supply chains often involve multiple ranches and intermediate holding pastures before slaughter, which makes single-point-of-origin claims unreliable. EUDR due diligence for cattle needs to account for every plot an animal has grazed, not just its final holding pen.

How AVN Earth verifies your cattle supply chain

For cattle, this means mapping and verifying each grazing plot in the chain of custody, and flagging any plot that doesn't clear the deforestation cut-off before it reaches a tannery, processor or importer.

This runs through the same four steps we use for every commodity: a field technician maps and GPS-records the plot, we verify it against EU deforestation baselines, every record lands in your AVN Earth dashboard, and you generate a compliant Due Diligence Statement in a few clicks — ready to file with TRACES NT or your own filing system. The UK's proposed forest-risk commodity regime (expected 2027) is set to require broadly the same evidence, so this work isn't wasted if you also trade into the UK.
