1. Technology overview
Koltiva was founded in Indonesia in 2013 as PT Koltiva and registered Koltiva AG in Switzerland in 2017. It digitizes smallholder supply chains so agribusinesses and brands can trace raw materials to farms, verify sustainability claims and meet rules such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
KoltiTrace is a web and mobile platform that registers farmers, maps farm boundaries as polygons, records purchase transactions, and assesses deforestation risk and land-use change emissions for compliance reporting. It links to IoT devices such as digital scales, soil analyzers and weather stations, and is combined with field extension services (KoltiSkills), the KoltiPay wallet and commodity apps such as CocoaTrace. Koltiva reports about 2 million registered producers and operations in 94 countries, with references including SOCFIN and Robertsbridge.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Farm management: Builds farmer profiles, supplier registrations, surveys and training records.
- Geolocation mapping: Maps production units and field boundaries as polygons.
- Transaction traceability: Records verified digital transactions from farm to buyer.
- Deforestation and GHG analysis: Assesses deforestation risk and land-use change emissions per farm.
- Smart farming IoT: Connects digital scales, portable soil analysis and solar-powered weather stations.
- Compliance reporting: Produces reports for EUDR and sustainability commitments.
3. Potential application
Coffee exporters in the Central Highlands can map supplier plots and generate EUDR evidence for European buyers. Rubber and cashew processors can register smallholders and record traceable purchases. Agribusinesses can combine traceability with farmer training programs to improve yields and certification readiness.
4. Benefits
Plot polygons, farmer profiles and verified transactions provide the evidence buyers need for EUDR due diligence. Deforestation and emissions assessments help companies report against sustainability targets. Field extension teams support onboarding of smallholders with limited digital skills, and IoT scales reduce manual errors at collection points.
5. Market trends & opportunities
EUDR obligations for coffee, cocoa, rubber, palm oil and timber require geolocation data for every plot. Southeast Asian exporters, including Vietnamese coffee and rubber traders that source from large numbers of smallholders, need scalable tools to map farms and document deforestation-free sourcing.
6. Other information
Founded in 2013 in Indonesia; Koltiva AG is registered in Switzerland. The company reports about 2 million registered producers, 94 operating countries and 68 crops and commodities, and Vietnam appears in its country list. In April 2025 it reported validating more than 25,000 coffee producers in Latin America. The website shows an ISO 27001 logo.
