EUDR Soya Traceability and Compliance Data
Connect soya farm plots, rural storage facilities, grain elevators, crushing plants, feed compounders, supplier transactions and legality evidence for EUDR due diligence.
UCVreg helps soya importers, agricultural traders, feed manufacturers, livestock producers and food brands structure deforestation-free supply chain records.
The EU regulatory landscape for Soya
Soya Scope and Application Dates
The EU Deforestation Regulation covers soya beans and specified derived products listed under EUDR Annex I, including whole soya beans (seed, food and feed grade), soya bean flour and meal, crude and refined soya bean oil, and soya bean oilcake.
Under the EUDR, relevant soya commodities placed on the EU market or exported from the EU must be deforestation-free (grown on land not subject to deforestation after 31 December 2020), produced legally, and supported by an official Due Diligence Statement.
Most EUDR obligations apply from 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators. For undertakings established as micro or small enterprises by 31 December 2020, obligations apply from 30 June 2027.
Plot Geolocation and Grain Traceability
Operators must capture GPS polygon coordinates for all farm parcels where soya beans were harvested:
Because soya is commonly commingled in large country elevators and bulk panamax vessels, traceability systems must preserve linkage to all contributing farm plots.
- ✓GPS polygon coordinates for all production plots 4 ha and above (Glycine max)
- ✓Single point coordinates for smallholder parcels under 4 ha
- ✓Harvest window dates and production period records
- ✓Environmental land registry records (e.g. Brazil CAR registry, rural land deeds)
- ✓Compliance with local agricultural, environmental and labor laws
- ✓Electronic Due Diligence Statements filed in TRACES-NT

Where Soya compliance data breaks and how UCVreg supports readiness
Trace bulk commingled grain shipments
Soya beans from hundreds of farms are combined at country silos, river barges, export elevators and ocean bulk freighters.
Connect cargo batch ledgers to all contributing farm plot polygons with automated mass-balance and segregation tracking.
Verify zero deforestation across large agricultural landscapes
Monitoring deforestation and biome conversion across the Amazon and Cerrado requires precise multi-year satellite validation.
Run automated spatial overlay against Copernicus satellite tree cover baselines to detect post-2020 deforestation.
Collate national land registry and legal compliance documents
Verifying statutory production legality requires cross-referencing rural environmental registries (CAR), land titles and labor audits.
Store and index official farm registration records, environmental permits and supplier declarations in a tamper-evident ledger.
Streamline TRACES-NT Due Diligence Statement submissions
Large soya vessels contain thousands of farm polygons that must be compiled into compliant XML/JSON payloads for TRACES-NT.
Package validated batch data and plot geometries into EUDR-compliant payloads for seamless API transmission and DDS filing.
