EUDR Geolocation & Due Diligence for Palm Oil Importers

Palm oil is used across cosmetics, biodiesel and processed food, which means EUDR geolocation requirements now reach into supply chains that never had to produce plot-level evidence before. AVN Earth maps individual palm plantation plots and verifies them against deforestation baselines, so refiners and importers can show exactly which mill and which plot their palm oil came from.

Why palm oil needs plot-level evidence

Palm oil supply chains typically run through mills that blend fresh fruit bunches from many plantations before pressing, which is where plot-level traceability usually gets lost. EUDR requires that traceability to survive milling, not stop at it.

How AVN Earth verifies your palm oil supply chain

For palm oil, this means mapping the plantation plot at the point of harvest and keeping that record attached through mill intake, so a refiner or importer can still show which plot a given batch came from.

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.
