Farmforce Deforestation Monitoring (EUDR)

Farmforce AS is a Norwegian software company headquartered in Oslo, with an office in Bangkok, that serves agribusinesses sourcing crops from smallholder farmers. It addresses the difficulty of proving where commodities such as coffee and cocoa come from and whether the land they were grown on has been deforested.

The Farmforce suite gives field officers a mobile app to register farmers, map plot boundaries with GPS (checking overlaps, duplicates and area) and record harvests and purchases against farmer quotas. The deforestation monitoring module cross-checks mapped plots against satellite forest data and produces due diligence reports for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Customers include exporters and processors such as Tata Coffee and GCB Cocoa.

• Farmer registration: Field officers enrol smallholders and their farms through a mobile app.
• GPS plot mapping: Plot boundaries are captured with checks for overlaps, duplicates and area.
• Deforestation monitoring: Mapped plots are compared with satellite forest data such as Global Forest Watch.
• Purchase tracking: Harvests and purchases are recorded against each farmer's quota.
• EUDR reporting: Due diligence reports and shapefiles are generated for EU compliance.
• Social compliance: Child labour monitoring and remediation (CLMRS) workflows are supported.

Coffee exporters in the Central Highlands can map thousands of smallholder plots and generate EUDR due diligence files for EU buyers. Rubber and cashew processors can link purchased volumes to verified plots. Cooperatives can digitise farmer registers and purchase records for certification audits.

GPS plot mapping with automatic overlap, duplicate and area checks reduces data errors before EUDR filings. Satellite cross-checks flag plots at deforestation risk before goods are purchased. Purchases are recorded against farmer quotas, linking traded volumes to verified farms. Ready-made due diligence reports and shapefile exports shorten compliance work with EU buyers.

The EU Deforestation Regulation requires operators placing coffee, cocoa, rubber, palm oil, soy, cattle and wood on the EU market to prove deforestation-free origin with plot geolocation. Vietnam is a major exporter of coffee, rubber and wood products to the EU, so exporters and cooperatives need practical tools to map smallholder plots and keep audit-ready records.

Farmforce AS is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with an office in Bangkok, Thailand. In 2026 it published the First Mile Traceability Barometer report. Customers and partners named on its website include Tata Coffee, GCB Cocoa, Fairoils and Farm Africa.
