FAQs

GreenAnt’s platform offers a unified solution for researchers, farmers, companies, and financial institutions. It streamlines processes, fosters collaboration, and empowers stakeholders across the agricultural ecosystem.

We leverage two key technologies:

• Satellite Data Integration: We utilize both optical and radar-based satellite imagery to gather real-time data on land use and environmental conditions. 
• Large Language Model (LLM) AI: Our advanced AI analyzes the satellite data, enabling us to assess risks, predict trends, and generate valuable insights.

We address several key challenges in agriculture and international trade and development:

• Deforestation Certification Complexity: GreenAnt streamlines the EUDR certification process for companies in international trade, verifying compliance and reducing costs. 
• Harvest Yield Uncertainty: Our AI-powered risk assessment tool helps farmers and agribusinesses make informed decisions and improve access to capital based on potential harvest risks.
• Limited or Inaccessible Harvest Insurance: GreenAnt provides detailed risk analysis for finance and insurance companies, enabling the development of innovative and accessible harvest insurance policies.

In June, 2023, the EU adopted the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which targets key commodities like cattle, cocoa, coffee, and wood.  The policy mandates that, after December 30, 2024, products and their derivatives entering the EU market must be “deforestation-free”—not sourced from land that has been deforested since 2020—and comply with their production country’s local laws. 

The EUDR applies to several key agricultural commodities, including:

• Soy
• Beef
• Coffee
• Palm Oil
• Timber
• Cocoa
• Rubber
• Leather

The EUDR requires companies placing these products on the EU market to conduct due diligence to assess the risk of deforestation or forest degradation in their supply chain. This involves:

• Mapping your supply chain: Identifying all actors involved in sourcing the product, from the farm to your company.
• Assessing deforestation risk: Evaluating the risk of deforestation in the areas where the product is sourced.
• Mitigation strategies: Having a plan to address and mitigate any identified deforestation risks.
• Record-keeping: Maintaining comprehensive documentation to demonstrate your due diligence efforts.

If companies don’t present a “due diligence statement” via an accredited guarantor, they cannot export their products to the EU. Updated due diligence statements must be presented each time a company exports a good.  

Yes, if your company exports products from multiple land parcels you will need an EUDR certificate for each of them.

Companies and organisations that import agricultural commodities into the EU can simplify EUDR compliance by leveraging Desidera, GreenAnt’s proprietary satellite terrestrial data and AI platform. The EUDR mandates that companies provide “due diligence statements” produced by accredited guarantors verifying that a company’s products are “deforestation-free.” GreenAnt can serve as your company’s EUDR-accredited guarantor. We use Desidera’s deforestation monitoring capability to assess your land and ensure that your products are deforestation-free. We then produce a compliance certification that serves as this due diligence statement. We not only produce these due diligence statements, but we also submit them to the EU behalf of your company, streamlining and simplifying your EUDR compliance process. 

It depends on the location and size of the land being certified. Please contact us for a free estimate.
