introduction
With the global push for sustainable and ethical sourcing, regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) are setting new benchmarks for transparency. Exporters and supply chain actors now face unprecedented expectations which is not only to prove legality, but to ensure that their entire chain is deforestation-free. These new rules require businesses to adopt systems of verification that can operate across wide geographies and fragmented networks. What was once voluntary is now mandatory. And the question is no longer whether compliance can be achieved—but whether it can be done at scale, with precision.
The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is setting new standards for agricultural imports, requiring companies to prove that products are not linked to deforestation or encroached land use. For exporters across the globe, compliance means building systems that can verify every hectare and farmer in the supply chain. This case study demonstrates how Deccan is operationalizing EUDR compliance by rolling out geo-tagging, supply chain custody, and deforestation risk screening tools across thousands of farmers. The objective is to ensure that every exported batch is traceable, legal, and aligned with international buyer requirements.
