Sourcing cocoa from Pará
Pará is a significant cocoa producing region within Brazil. When sourcing from this region, EUDR requires specific geolocation data identifying the production plots.
Geolocation requirements
Your due diligence statement must include GPS coordinates for production land in Pará. For plots over 4 hectares, polygon coordinates defining the boundaries are required.
Regional considerations
- Verify supplier certifications specific to Pará
- Confirm production dates relative to the December 2020 cut-off
- Document the supply chain from Pará to point of export
- Assess regional deforestation risk factors
