What traceability is
A pilot to document where each crop comes from: location, dates and field evidence, aligned with the EU EUDR regulation.
EUDR Coming soon
Traceability & EUDR
From farm polygon to deforestation-free evidence. We learn it and teach it on a living chinampa in Xochimilco.
Who the pilot is for
Growers, cooperatives and exporters who need to prove origin and zero deforestation.
How to join the pilot
Book a call or message us on WhatsApp. We'll explain the pilot and courses; nothing is charged on the site.
Shall we talk?
The rule in one line
Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 bans placing on, or exporting from, the EU market products linked to deforestation or forest degradation after 31 December 2020, or produced in breach of the laws of the country of origin.
Which products?
Coffee, cocoa, cattle, soy, oil palm, rubber and wood, plus derived goods such as chocolate, leather, furniture and paper.
Who is affected?
Companies placing these products on the EU market. In practice, data requests reach the origin: Mexican and Latin American farmers, cooperatives and exporters.
What is required?
Geolocation of every plot (point or polygon), proof of no deforestation and of legality, and a due diligence statement (DDS) filed in the EU information system.
Dates
30 December 2026 for large and medium companies; 30 June 2027 for micro and small companies (with exceptions). Dates have already moved twice; we check official sources regularly. Information current as of October 2026.
Dachimilco is a chinampa of ~7,300 m², ~350 m from the Cuemanco boat landing (Embarcadero de Cuemanco), behind Salón Michmani, operated by AMAYAD, with AgroWatts as partner company. It works as a living lab: we practise the due-diligence steps on a real plot with real data.
Plot mapping
GPS and drone polygons stored in standard formats (GeoJSON).
Deforestation-free evidence
reading historical satellite imagery and documenting land use since 2020.
Records & chain of custody
every batch keeps its history, from sowing to delivery.
Digital tools
we test traceability platforms on the market alongside open tools. Our job is to understand which one fits each case, not to sell one.
One record per plot
a well-built record of your plot (polygon, crops and activities) can be reused for traceability, the EUDR and other buyer requirements, instead of capturing the same data again and again.
Continuous traceability
evidence is built throughout the season, batch by batch and linked to geo-referenced plots, not at the last minute before export.
Your data, your choice
you decide what information you share, with whom and for what.
Advisory
we support farmers, cooperatives and exporters in preparing their data: plot inventory, mapping, organising evidence and mock dossiers.
Farm management platform under exploration: Agrivi. No formal agreement.
Traceability evidence · pilot pilot
Working material from the pilot on the chinampa (2025). Not a certification.
Honest note: we are a pilot in progress. We do not certify and do not guarantee EUDR compliance. Legal responsibility for the due diligence statement lies with the operator placing the product on the EU market.

Does Dachimilco certify EUDR compliance?
No. We train and support preparation. The statement and the responsibility belong to the operator.
Do my vegetables or flowers fall under the EUDR?
They are not on the EUDR product list. Good records still help you sell better.
I export coffee, cocoa or cattle. Where do I start?
Make an inventory of your plots and map each one. That's the first step of our courses.
Do you work with a traceability platform?
We are exploring market platforms and open tools, but we have no formal agreement with any platform.
Are the dates final?
Current dates are 30 Dec 2026 and 30 Jun 2027. They have changed before, so always check official EU sources.
Do I need blockchain or crypto?
No. The EUDR does not require any specific technology.
