EUDR rubber compliance. From the field to your decision.
Origin evidence collected in field operations and organized for your due diligence review. You analyze, you decide.
The challenge
4 problems you already know
EUDR compliance
The EU requires plot-level field evidence for every exported lot, proving no deforestation since December 31, 2020. Are your records structured enough?
Opaque chain
Where did your rubber come from? Which plots, which growers, which harvest dates?
Variable quality
Inconsistent DRC, delayed deliveries, unmonitored growers, and no field data to diagnose the issue.
Monitoring cost
200 supplier properties and zero visibility. That is not manageable without a field supervision army.

Business Case & Feasibility
Why Peguim? A Fact-Based Analysis
Concrete data grounded in the EUDR regulation and global agroforestry impact reports.
EUDR Fines Risk
Article 25 of the EUDR regulation mandates that Member States set maximum fines of at least 4% of the operator's total annual EU-wide turnover. Fines must be proportionate to environmental damage and may be increased to exceed any economic benefit from non-compliance. Additional sanctions include confiscation of products and revenues, and temporary exclusion from public procurement for up to 12 months.
Manual Audit Cost
Total compliance costs for independent smallholders — including GPS mapping, documentation, group certification, and annual audits — range from $400 to $950 per farm per year, with upfront certification costs of €86–215 per hectare depending on group size and region.
Feasibility & Inclusion
The Seringueiro app is free for field operations. Rural producers pay nothing if their partner mill or cooperative is a subscriber (using property slots in the corporate plan). Independent producers access via low-cost individual subscriptions.
How it works
3 steps. Zero complexity.
Your network starts collecting evidence
Art. 9 — Information collectionField operations record relevant information without adding unnecessary complexity to rural routines.
Data is organized by origin
Art. 10 — Risk assessmentThe platform structures evidence by productive area, supplier, and lot, preserving context for later analysis.
You open your dashboard
Art. 11 — Risk mitigationThe dashboard presents coverage, pending items, and evidence packs to support review and audit.
Evidence Pack
Structured data, ready for your auditors
Each lot is connected to an origin document trail, ready for internal review and audit.
- Origin evidence by productive area
- Temporal context for field records
- Visual records when applicable
- Document trail between origin and industrial lot
- Dashboard consolidated by supplier and lot
Regulatory essentials
What the EUDR requires — in plain language
The key requirements of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 that every natural rubber operator needs to know.
3 mandatory conditions (Art. 4)
① Deforestation-free: produced on land with no deforestation after December 31, 2020. ② Legally produced: compliant with all laws of the country of production. ③ Due Diligence Statement (DDS): submitted via the EU TRACES NT system before market placement.
Geolocation requirements (Art. 9)
Plots > 4 hectares: polygon coordinates delineating the perimeter. Plots ≤ 4 hectares: single point (latitude/longitude). Minimum 6 decimal digits (~11 cm precision). Format: GeoJSON · Coordinate system: WGS84 (EPSG:4326).
Due Diligence Statement (DDS)
A formal declaration submitted via the EU TRACES NT system, confirming due diligence was conducted and the risk of non-compliance is negligible. Records must be retained for 5 years.
Enforcement deadlines
Large & medium enterprises: December 30, 2026. Micro & small enterprises: June 30, 2027. Confirmed final — no further postponement (EU Simplification Package, May 2026).
Country risk classification (Art. 29)
Standard risk (~50 countries, incl. Brazil, Côte d'Ivoire, Indonesia): Full 3-step due diligence required. Low risk (~140 countries): Simplified due diligence. High risk (4 countries): Enhanced scrutiny.
Product scope
Natural rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) and derived products: tires, gloves, conveyor belts, hoses, and more (CN codes 4001–4017). Synthetic rubber: NOT covered. Mixed products: covered if they contain natural rubber.
Why Peguim
What your current system does not cover
Your mill already manages intake at the gate. Peguim operates where that system stops: from the field to your gate.
| Capability | Internal systems | With Peguim |
|---|---|---|
| GPS at intake (mill gate) | ||
| Supplier registry | ||
| Operational evidence before industrial receipt | ||
| Evidence package structured for review | ||
| Field experience prepared for low connectivity | ||
| Connection between productive origin and industrial lot |
Frequently asked questions
EUDR & Natural Rubber — Common Questions
What is the EUDR cut-off date?
December 31, 2020. Rubber must be produced on land that has not been subject to deforestation after this date (Art. 2(13)).
Does my RSPO or FSC certification exempt me from the EUDR?
No. Certifications can support your risk assessment but do not replace the mandatory requirements: plot-level geolocation, deforestation-free verification, and a Due Diligence Statement (DDS) submitted via TRACES NT.
Is synthetic rubber covered?
No. Synthetic rubber (petrochemical origin) is excluded. However, mixed products containing natural rubber (e.g., tires) are in scope.
What geolocation data do I need?
For plots > 4 hectares: polygon coordinates defining the perimeter. For plots ≤ 4 hectares: a single GPS point. All coordinates must have at least 6 decimal digits and be in GeoJSON format (WGS84).
What happens if I don't comply?
Article 25 establishes minimum fines of 4% of EU-wide annual turnover, confiscation of products and revenues, and temporary exclusion from public procurement for up to 12 months.
Are small cooperatives exempt?
No, but micro and small enterprises have an extended deadline until June 30, 2027, and benefit from simplified due diligence requirements for low-risk countries.
What is a Due Diligence Statement (DDS)?
A formal declaration submitted via the EU TRACES NT system before placing products on the market. It confirms you collected information, assessed risks, and found them negligible. Records must be kept for 5 years.
How does Peguim help with EUDR compliance?
Peguim captures GPS-tagged field data (coordinates, timestamps, photos) at the tapper level, structures it by plot and lot, and delivers an Evidence Pack ready for your due diligence review and auditors.
