A regulatory term referring to the country or territory where the relevant commodity or the relevant commodity used in the production of.
Country of production in EUDR is the country or territory where the relevant commodity was produced, including where the commodity used in a relevant product originated. It is therefore an origin term, not merely a shipping or customs-destination term.
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
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.
This term matters when operators build origin evidence and due-diligence statements, because country-level origin is one of the basic anchors for risk assessment and documentation. It also connects directly to benchmarking logic and to how authorities evaluate whether sourcing claims are plausible.
For Minespider, country of production is an origin-anchor term. It is one of the first coordinates needed to connect product records, supplier evidence, and geolocation-based deforestation-risk workflows.
