We continue our TRUE COSTS OF EUDR series with African Cocoa Marketplace, which reveals the challenges of walking a farm boundary, and the necessity of having a farmer there to ensure polygon maps are correct.

In this video, we show just how difficult it is for an outsider who is not familiar with the usual markers to see a farm boundary in Ghana.

The challenges that EUDR requires in this regulation are made upon a landscape the decision-makers do not understand, and they've assumptions about data collection and reporting that simply do not hold true in the real world.

Orijin and its partners ACM, Aya Data, and Demeter Holdings Ltd offer full-service EUDR compliance solutions. We go into the work with our eyes open to rural realities, the challenges and complexities involved, and the priority of protecting farmer livelihoods.
