What Is EUDR?
EUDR — the EU Deforestation Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1115) — makes placing certain commodities on the EU market conditional on those products being deforestation-free and legally produced. For exporters, the most critical requirement is the geolocation (polygon) of production parcels and proof that they are deforestation-free.

Why Did EUDR Come About?
To cut the role consumption chains play in global deforestation, the EU requires certain commodities to be produced without driving deforestation. Covered commodities: cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy and wood — and products derived from them.
To be placed on the EU market, a product must be deforestation-free, legally produced and documented with a due diligence statement. The decisive cut-off date: 31 December 2020.
Who Does It Cover?
Operators and traders that place covered commodities on the EU market, along with producers and exporters that export to the EU. Wood-product and related agricultural-commodity exporters from Türkiye are directly affected.
Application dates are phased by company size: 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators, and 30 June 2027 for micro and small enterprises (as postponed by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650). For current dates of effect, the official EU text governs.
What's Required? Due Diligence
- 01
Information Gathering
The geolocation of production parcels — coordinates and polygon — together with product, quantity and supplier information.
- 02
Risk Assessment
Assessing the parcel's risk level in terms of deforestation and legality.
- 03
Risk Mitigation
Where needed, bringing risk down to a negligible level with additional data, audits and evidence.
The Hardest Part: Parcel Polygon + Deforestation Evidence
Operationally, the regulation's most demanding side is collecting the geolocation (polygon) of every production parcel and proving that the parcel has not driven deforestation since 2020. This calls for satellite-based, auditable evidence rather than a field declaration.
The Tarımus Solution
Produce the Parcel Polygon and Deforestation Evidence.
Tarımus produces the geolocation and land-change history of your supply parcels at parcel scale, and backs your due diligence statement with satellite-based, auditable evidence.
- Parcel boundary and polygon — geolocation record
- Land use and change detection
- Forest-cover comparison against the 31 December 2020 baseline
- Satellite (Sentinel) based deforestation-free indicator
- Evidence Vault: auditable evidence feeding the due diligence statement
