The EUDR country or territory where the relevant commodity was produced.
Country of production anchors EUDR products to the jurisdiction where production occurred. It supports country-risk and due-diligence routing, but it does not replace geolocation, plot, establishment, or commodity evidence.
This page uses the EUDR Article 2 definition. Keep country of production separate from country of origin under customs law, shipment origin, seller location, and broader provenance narratives.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 on deforestation-free products
the country or territory where the relevant commodity or the relevant commodity used in the production of, or contained in, a relevant product was produced;
Reference: Article 2, point 24
Reviewed public draft page. Aligns with EUDR forest/production-boundary policy: separates land-cover thresholds, forest-type classifications, production-location evidence, product compliance status, and actor-scope identity.
EUDR applies to the listed commodities and derived products placed on or exported from the EU market from 30 December 2024 (large operators) and 30 June 2025 (SMEs), subject to the benchmarking system that classifies countries as low, standard, or high risk. The applicable obligation level depends on country risk classification as well as operator size.
Implementation records should capture production country field, plot or establishment link, production event, due-diligence statement, commodity, product batch, supplier, harvest/production period, and country-risk classification.
Country of production is the production-location control for EUDR evidence. It should link products, commodities, plots/establishments, suppliers, geolocation-based evidence, and due-diligence statements so country-level risk is not mistaken for proof of deforestation-free origin.
