Deforestation | Dimitra

The Problem

Over 100 countries have committed to eradicating deforestation by 2030. The EU has taken one of the first major steps in achieving this goal by publishing a law banning the importation of 7 commodities linked to deforestation

Legislation has been applied on Cattle, soy beans, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, and timber.

Companies that want to continue to sell these products into the EU or export from the EU need to prove that their products are not linked to deforestation. Traders and agriculture operators won't be allowed to place commodities and products on the Union market nor export them without prior submission of a due diligence statement.

Companies need to start building deforestation-free compliance practices
Companies need to adapt their technology to meet the regulatory demands
Companies need to ensure their suppliers and distributors comply with the new law
Companies need to comply with local agriculture laws and regulations of the producing country

The Solution

Dimitra offers deforestation certification for farmers, traders, operators and consumer packaged goods companies to ensure every shipment is compliant and meets the regulatory demands.

A combination of satellite analysis, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and mobile technology allows operators to detect deforestation, prove compliance, and reduce the risk of fraud.

Risk Assessment
Mapping and Certificate
Blockchain & DMTR

Supply chains sending these products to Europe are at risk. Many of the listed commodities entering the EU can be traced back to deforestation. Before the law is put into full effect, operators need to assess the level of risk they are in by understanding the prevalence of deforestation in the areas their products come from.

Our satellite and agronomy team assesses your supply chain and identifies high-risk areas to help you make the right decisions.

We help you mitigate risks of trade disruption by finding and assessing deforestation zones in your supply chain

Consultation to identify which areas in the region have deforestation
Complete due diligence to ensure origin farms are deforestation free
Identify areas in the region where there is no deforestation to shift production

Agriculture companies can use Dimitra’s platform to mark the geo-location of the origin farm at the time of harvest and automatically produce a deforestation map of the area to certify no deforestation before the shipments are prepared.

Deforestation satellite monitoring on a regional level
Satellite deforestation mapping of origin farm
Product track and trace with GPS records for farm of origin.
Generate a compliance certificate for each shipment that certifies no deforestation and origin of each lot of product.
Integrate with existing systems such as an ERP.
All farming activities and certificates can be recorded on blockchain for immutability

This process is completely dependent on blockchain and the Dimitra token.

Dimitra receives a deforestation certificate request from a customer, We take a payment for the request in fiat, we pay the necessary government filing fees in fiat. The balance is immediately converted by our treasury in DMTR to generate the certificate and process the relevant transactions to the blockchain via the Dimitra DApp. Then we burn the tokens, recording the entire process on our blockchain based platform for compliance.
