New IISD analysis: EUDR goods sold to the EU make up ~50% of São Tomé & Príncipe’s total exports and ≥25% in Côte d’Ivoire/Cameroon, vs 4.3% of EU extra-EU imports (2024). @dimitratech Connected Cocoa could help secure buyer access; potential $DMTR utility.

Q3 cocoa processing split: major-region grindings +14.3% to 903,129t. Asia +29.22%; North America -2.49% (reporting panel changed). @dimitratech Connected Cocoa could help exporters build traceable, buyer-ready supply. Potential $DMTR protocol utility
New Mighty Earth investigation: 351+ EUDR lobbying meetings (2024–26); in 100 Commission meetings, EUDR was discussed but not listed as a topic. Policy uncertainty may favor adaptable plot-level verification—a potential use case for @dimitratech Connected Farmer. $DMTR

New ODI study: Traceability gaps affect up to 57% of Ethiopia’s coffee supply chains, potentially excluding 60% of smallholders from EU trade. A major opportunity for @dimitratech to scale Connected Farmer, plot mapping and traceable aggregation.

New Trase data: ~2/3 of Indonesia’s palm-oil-linked deforestation is tied to DOMESTIC demand, not exports. Smallholders produce 35% of output. This could open a larger opportunity for @dimitratech’s Connected Farmer and geospatial verification beyond EU-bound supply chains.

Brazil’s INPE reports Amazon deforestation fell 41.8% to 3,335 km² in 2025/26, but 75% of clearing remains in Pará, Mato Grosso & Amazonas. That concentration could guide @dimitratech geospatial verification and EUDR risk monitoring at plot level.
Preferred by Nature & WWF launched a full traceability tool navigator covering 7 forest-risk commodities, with side-by-side comparisons and independently verified features. @dimitratech could showcase Connected Farmer + geospatial capabilities to EUDR buyers.

Ghana’s cocoa digitisation is moving into village finance: Fairtrade Africa trained VSLA facilitators under a project supporting 21 rural service centres in 6 regions. Such hubs could offer @dimitratech a scalable route for Connected Farmer onboarding.
Malaysia says palm oil groups representing ~60% of its 20Mt CPO output are EUDR-ready. The next opportunity may lie with smaller suppliers. @dimitratech’s Connected Farmer and geospatial tools could help bring fragmented farms into traceable supply chains.

From Oct 15, EUDR due diligence statements are routed to the authority where the operator is established—not the EU entry port. For non-EU operators, routing follows their registered Member State ID. A new compliance automation opportunity for @dimitratech.
Brazil’s Conab projects 181.6Mt of soy in 2026/27 (+0.7%) across 49.3M hectares (+1.4%). Expanding acreage creates a potential opportunity for @dimitratech: plot-level mapping, land-use verification and ongoing EUDR monitoring as supply chains grow.

Palm oil economics, not just compliance: SIPEF says 86% of its 2026 volumes are contracted at $997/t vs $961/t last year, with pricing including premiums for certified sustainability and traceable origin. Plot-level verification could help @dimitratech capture this buyer value.

UN/WTO’s ITC presented its AI-assisted Sylva EUDR platform to Spanish coffee operators today. Publicly funded compliance tools could pressure commercial software pricing. For @dimitratech, differentiation through real first-mile services and recurring usage becomes increasingly important.

🇮🇩 Indonesia reports 98 corporate-linked wildfire cases, highlighting rising legal-origin risks for palm oil supply chains.
As EUDR approaches, this creates an opportunity for @dimitratech to scale geospatial verification and traceability—potentially expanding the $DMTR ecosystem.

Asia’s Q3 cocoa grindings surged 29.22% YoY to 233,767 tonnes, beating Bloomberg’s 208,412t consensus by 12.2%. Europe also surprised positively at +3.2%. The next question: will stronger processing demand translate into tighter procurement and higher premiums for traceable cocoa?

Europe’s cocoa grindings rebounded to 348,215t in Q3 (+3.2% YoY), beating expectations of a decline. As EUDR approaches, stronger processing demand could increase buyers’ urgency to secure traceable cocoa. A potential opportunity for @dimitratech’s plot-level tools.

$351B flowed to forest-risk agribusinesses in 2020–25.
Annual financing surged 71% since 2016, including +20% in 2025, reaching $64.7B.
A growing opportunity for @dimitratech’s geospatial monitoring, traceability & risk analytics—and potentially $DMTR.

🇧🇷 Brazil’s soybean crop faces rainfall and germination risks.
This is exactly where @dimitratech’s satellite crop monitoring and agronomic intelligence can help farmers.
Growing climate volatility could accelerate adoption of these services—and potentially expand $DMTR utility.

Nigeria’s LCCI warns >50% of cocoa may miss EUDR traceability requirements. Cocoa earned ₦596.9B in Q1 2026—51% of agricultural export revenue. This is an exposure estimate, not confirmed lost exports. The real economic test is how much trade retains EU market access.
