The plot coordinates required to identify where an EUDR commodity was produced.
EUDR geolocation identifies a production plot using latitude and longitude with at least six decimal digits. For non-cattle commodity plots larger than four hectares, the regulation requires a polygon with enough points to describe the perimeter. Keep plot location, production country and the applicable reporting pathway together in the evidence record.
Geolocation is the EUDR plot-location record at specified coordinate precision, with polygons where the source requires them.
Do not apply the polygon rule to cattle plots or assume every operator files the same statement.
EUDR Article 2(28) specifies coordinate precision and the polygon condition for non-cattle plots over four hectares.
EUDR
‘geolocation’ means the geographical location of a plot of land described by means of latitude and longitude coordinates corresponding to at least one latitude and one longitude point and using at least six decimal digits; for plots of land of more than four hectares used for the production of the relevant commodities other than cattle, this shall be provided using polygons with sufficient latitude and longitude points to describe the perimeter of each plot of land;
