1. Technology overview
Meridia is an Amsterdam-based agtech company, formerly Landmapp, whose founders began by working on land rights for smallholder farmers in Ghana, Indonesia and Côte d'Ivoire. It now focuses on supply chain risk, combining land tenure, mapping and farm data verification for commodity traders and brands.
Meridia Verify checks suppliers' plot data for coordinate quality, deforestation risk using Sentinel-2 imagery and legality (protected areas, indigenous rights). Users can inspect plots year by year, reclassify risk with evidence and an audit trail, collect supplier uploads and keep selected plot data in an audit-ready vault for five years, then export EUDR due diligence reports compatible with TRACES. The methodology is EY-audited under ISAE 3000, and the platform is ISO 27001 certified. Users include ICE, Cargill, LDC, Sucafina, OFI, Volcafe and ETG.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Plot data checks: Validates the coordinate quality of supplier farm plots.
- Deforestation analysis: Assesses risk using Sentinel-2 imagery with year-by-year visual inspection.
- Legality screening: Checks overlaps with protected areas and indigenous rights.
- Risk reclassification: Lets users reclassify scores with evidence and an audit trail.
- Supplier uploads and vault: Collects supplier data and stores selected plots for five years.
- EUDR reporting and API: Exports TRACES-compatible due diligence reports and offers an API in higher tiers.
3. Potential application
Coffee exporters in Vietnam's Central Highlands can verify supplier plots before shipping to EU roasters. Vietnamese subsidiaries of international traders can prioritize field visits for high-risk farms. Certification bodies and auditors can review plot evidence and audit trails during EUDR assurance.
4. Benefits
Teams without GIS expertise can verify plots and prioritize field visits, reducing unnecessary trips. Evidence-based risk reclassification with an audit trail supports defensible EUDR decisions. Plans are sized by verified hectares, from 50,000 ha per year, and an EY-audited methodology plus ISO 27001 security give buyers and auditors confidence in results.
5. Market trends & opportunities
EUDR enforcement makes plot-level verification a routine step for coffee, cocoa and other commodity traders. Vietnam is a major robusta coffee origin, so international traders and local exporters need scalable verification of large numbers of smallholder plots, with field follow-up for high-risk suppliers.
6. Other information
