EUDR Soy Supply Chain Compliance Checklist — Twi

Nsɛm-nhwɛso yi ma soy adwumayɛfoɔ ne adwadifoɔ framework nsɛm 26 a wɔde bɛhwɛ sɛ wɔasiesie wɔn ho ama EUDR. Wɔahyehyɛ no sɛnea supply chain no kɔ — efi farm-level sourcing de kɔ grain handling, crushing, ne export — a ɛkyerɛ sɛnea aggregation yɛ wɔ grain elevators ne silos a soybeans efi farms pii bɔ mu ansa na wɔyɛ processing.

Sɛ woyɔ checklist yi nyinaa wie no, ɛnyɛ compliance. EUDR hwehwɛ sɛ operators yɛ due diligence na wɔde DDS a evidence support no to hɔ.

EUDR soy compliance obligation ne sɛn?

Regulation 2023/1115 de bar sɛ commodities a ɛnyɛ deforestation-free (kwaeɛ sɛeɛ nni mu) anaa a wɔanyɛ no legally no, wɔmfa nto EU market so. Soy ne ne derived products — soybeans (HS 1201), soybean oil (HS 1507), ne soybean oilcake ne meal (HS 2304) — wɔ commodity groups 7 mu.

Soy supply chain no wɔ tiers 4-5: farm kɔ grain elevator anaa silo, elevator kɔ trader, trader kɔ crusher, crusher kɔ exporter, exporter kɔ EU importer. Grain elevators yɛ aggregation point titiriw — elevator baako tumi gye soybeans efi farms dodow-dodow anaa ɔha pii.

Nsɛm titiriw ama soy: EUDR de FAO forest definition di dwuma (ɛhia minimum thresholds ama tree height, canopy cover, ne land area). Cerrado savanna a ɛnhyia thresholds yi no ɛnyɛ forest, na ne conversion nyɛ deforestation wɔ EUDR ase. Amazon Soy Moratorium yɛ voluntary industry agreement a ɛka Amazon biome nkutoo ho na ɛnyɛ legally binding wɔ EUDR ase.

Nsɛm a checklist yi ka ho

Sourcing ne geolocation (Articles 9(1)(d), 9(1)(e))

• Source farms nyinaa wɔ geolocation wɔ WGS84 (EPSG:4326) ne decimal places 6
• GPS point baako ama plots a ɛyɛ hectares 4 anaa ɛsua; polygon boundaries ama plots a ɛboro hectares 4 so (commercial soy farms pii boro hectares 4 so kɛse)
• Geolocation data no wɔ collection timestamp, device metadata, ne collector identity mu
• Plot biara wɔde aka farmer anaa landowner ho ne tenure documentation
• Planting season ne harvest date wɔ mu ama December 31, 2020 cutoff verification
• Plots a ɛwɔ Cerrado, Amazon, anaa Chaco biomes mu anaa ho bɛn no: satellite imagery analysis ahwɛ sɛ forest loss (FAO definition so) amfiri ase December 31, 2020 akyi

Risk assessment (Article 10)

• Country risk classification wɔ mu ama origin biara
• Deforestation screening a ɛde satellite imagery a ɛgyina December 31, 2020 baseline so
• FAO forest definition applied correctly — tree cover loss wɔ areas a ɛnhyia FAO forest thresholds (5m height, 10% canopy cover, 0.5 ha minimum) no, wɔakyerɛw na wɔahwɛ mu foforɔ efi deforestation
• Independent deforestation alert systems (sɛ Global Forest Watch, PRODES/DETER ama Brazilian origins) wɔ mu
• Risk assessment methodology wɔ mu
• Sɛ concerns wɔ hɔ a: risk mitigation measures wɔ mu (Article 10(2))

Legality verification (Article 9(1)(e))

• Ɔman a ɛyɛ production no mu laws a ɛfa ho wɔ mu
• Legal compliance evidence wɔ hɔ ama origin biara
• Brazilian origins no: CAR registration wɔ mu — farm boundary registered, environmental embargoes nni hɔ
• Permits, environmental licences, anaa export authorisations wɔ file mu na ɛyɛ valid

Processing ne traceability (Articles 4, 9)

• Grain elevator ne silo intake wɔ mu — delivery biara wɔde aka farm of origin pɔtee ho
• Elevator-level traceability wɔ mu — outbound shipment biara wɔde aka contributing source farms ho
• Crush yield wɔ mu (bɛyɛ 80% meal ne 18% oil efi whole soybeans) ne measurement methodology
• Processor intake reconciliation ne outbound volumes wɔ tolerance mu
• Batch identifiers wɔ hɔ efi farm de kɔ elevator, crusher, ne exporter ne traceability links
• Wɔmfa mass balance ndi dwuma — physical segregation anaa identity preservation na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ

Documentation ne filing (Articles 4, 9, 12)

• DDS ne fields a ɛhia nyinaa wɔ mu
• Supporting evidence nyinaa wɔ archive mu ama 5-year retention period
• Evidence chain yɛ auditable efi mfiase kɔsi awiei
• DDS reference number wɔ hɔ

Sɛnea wɔde checklist yi di dwuma

Step 1 — Yɛ wo supply chain map. Soy no, hu grain elevator aggregation points kan — ɛha na individual farm traceability taa yera.

Step 2 — Fa section biara yɛ adwuma.

Step 3 — Si gaps mu. Fa farm-level geolocation ne elevator traceability di kan.

Step 4 — Hwɛ mu biara quarter.

Sɛnea wɔde di dwuma wɔ wo kurom

Fa ma obi nsa. Wo compliance officer anaa sustainability manager na ɔwɔ checklist yi na ne nsa ka sɛ ɛyɛ complete. Procurement staff ne grain elevator operators de sourcing evidence ba; export manager hwɛ package a wɔahyehyɛ no mu ansa na wɔde DDS ato hɔ.

Yɛ review schedule. Fa deforestation screening reviews ka planting cycles ho — September kɔsi December ama Brazilian origins ne April kɔsi May ama Argentine origins — na screening ayɛ current ansa na harvest biara abɛhyɛ supply chain mu. Yɛ checklist reassessment full biara quarter ne ntɛm sɛ farm foforɔ ba mu, elevator sourcing arrangement foforɔ ba, anaa European Commission de country risk reclassification to hɔ.

Kyerɛ wo escalation kwan. Gap biara a wɔhu wɔ review mu no gyina DDS preparation ama consignment no kosi sɛ wɔasi gap no mu. Team member a ɔwɔ so no escalate gaps a wɔnnya ano aduro nkɔ export manager hɔ wɔ nnawɔtwe 48 mu, ne gap no ho nkyerɛkyerɛmu a wɔakyerɛw ne remediation timeline a wɔde to hɔ.

Fa ka wo adwuma a ɛwɔ hɔ dada ho. Fa farm-level geolocation capture hyɛ wo supplier onboarding process mu na plot data bɛba ansa na delivery a edi kan akɔ elevator. Fa CAR verification ne elevator traceability checks ka wo procurement ne QC handover points a ɛwɔ hɔ dada ho, na fa checklist evidence a wɔawie aka export documentation packages ho ne commercial invoices ne phytosanitary certificates.

EUDR ka Cerrado vegetation conversion ho sɛ deforestation?

EUDR de FAO forest definition di dwuma: land a ɛboro 0.5 hectares a dua a ɛboro 5 metres ne canopy cover a ɛboro 10%. Cerrado vegetation a ɛhyia definition yi yɛ forest; ne conversion yɛ deforestation. Cerrado grassland anaa savanna a ɛwɔ thresholds yi ase no ɛnyɛ forest. Operators sɛ sɛ wɔde FAO definition di dwuma pɛpɛɛpɛ ama source plot biara.

Amazon Soy Moratorium tumi fa EUDR requirements ananmu?

Dabi. Soy Moratorium yɛ voluntary, ɛka Amazon biome nkutoo ho, ɛmfa December 31, 2020 cutoff ndi dwuma, na ɛmma DDS. Ɛtumi inform wo risk assessment nanso ɛntumi mmfa EUDR due diligence ananmu.
