USE CASE · AGRO-PROCESSING & COCOA
From farm to finished product. EUDR compliant from day one.
Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire together produce over 60% of the world's cocoa. With the EU Deforestation Regulation in force, every African cocoa and agro-processor exporting to the EU needs documented supply chain traceability. ManuTrack provides the digital foundation.
EUDR COMPLIANCE — IN FORCE 2025
The EU Deforestation Regulation requires cocoa, palm oil, wood, coffee, rubber, and soya imported to the EU to be produced on land not subject to deforestation after December 31, 2020. African exporters must now provide geo-referenced lot traceability documentation or face market exclusion. ManuTrack's batch-level records with farm origin linking provide the foundation for EUDR compliance reporting.
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge for cocoa & agro-processors
- !
EU buyers are requiring geo-referenced farm-origin documentation for all cocoa imports.
- !
Processing cooperatives can't link finished lots back to individual farm deliveries without digital records.
- !
Sustainability certifications (Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade) require batch-level audit trails.
- !
Price premiums for traceable cocoa are lost without documentation to back claims.
KEY FEATURES
Built for agro-processing operations
Farm-to-Factory Lot Traceability
Link each processing lot back to the recorded farm origin, cooperative or supplier group, and processing location so export reviews are easier to support.
Processing Batch Records
Document every transformation — fermentation, drying, roasting, milling — with timestamped batch records per lot.
Quality Grade Classification
Record bean count, moisture, defect percentages, and grade at intake. Trace quality data from farm through export.
EUDR-Ready Documentation
Maintain origin references, supporting documents, and lot-level records that strengthen EUDR and buyer due-diligence preparation.
Sustainability Certification Links
Attach Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, and organic audit documents directly to lot records for buyer verification.
Bulk Export Lot Assembly
Assemble export containers from multiple processing batches. Full traceability maintained through consolidation.
Cooperative Member Payments
Record cooperative and supplier-group context against each lot so finance and sourcing teams can reconcile origin claims outside the platform.
Consumer Origin QR
Buyers or downstream partners scan finished product packaging to see origin, cooperative context, and recorded certification claims.
