Case Study: a leading Nigerian trading firm achieves EUDR supply chain compliance with TraceX

a leading Nigerian trading firm achieves 100% cocoa batch traceability with TraceX

A leading Nigerian trading firm specializing in cocoa and cashew exports faced significant challenges in meeting EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requirements. Sourcing from thousands of smallholder farmers, the company lacked a unified system for geo-mapping, harvest tracking, and deforestation risk screening, putting its access to the EU market at risk. To address this, the firm partnered with TraceX and implemented its EUDR Compliance platform.

TraceX's solution enabled the digital onboarding of farmers, geo-mapping of plots for deforestation screening, and end-to-end batch traceability. This resulted in 100% of cocoa batches being traceable to compliant farms with no sourcing from deforested areas post-cut-off date. The automation drastically reduced manual work, provided real-time audit-ready documentation, and secured the firm's position as a preferred, EUDR-compliant supplier for EU buyers.
