Plot-level geolocation is the first technical hurdle for coffee and cacao cooperatives under EUDR. The regulation requires polygon boundaries for each producer's plot — not just GPS points. This guide covers three practical approaches, the accepted formats, and how Terralyr automates the deforestation verification step once you have the data.
The three approaches: mobile field app (technician walks the perimeter, ±3m accuracy), satellite image digitization (draw polygons on Google Earth, ±10-30m), and rural cadastre import (if MIDAGRI or regional government data is available). All outputs must be in WGS84 (EPSG:4326). Terralyr auto-detects and reprojects UTM coordinates common in Peru.
