Open-source agricultural traceability platform on Hedera. EUDR-compliant, blockchain-native, multi-commodity. # Shamba Traceability > Open-source, EUDR-aligned agricultural traceability platform built on the Hedera network. > Multi-commodity. Blockchain-native. From plot to shelf. A project of Shamba Records Limited. --- ## Why Agricultural supply chains are opaque. Cooperatives, processors, and exporters carry the regulatory and reputational risk of proving provenance, while the data needed to back those claims is fragmented across paper records, spreadsheets, and proprietary systems. The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR, **Regulation (EU) 2023/1115**) raises the bar dramatically: by **30 December 2025** for large operators and **30 June 2026** for SMEs, every relevant commodity placed on the EU market must be backed by a verifiable Due Diligence Statement, including plot-level geolocation, deforestation status against a 31 December 2020 cut-off, and country-of-production legality. Comparable rules are emerging in the UK, the US, and elsewhere. Shamba Traceability provides the open, blockchain-anchored substrate operators need to meet that bar — and to make supply-chain integrity a public good rather than a proprietary moat. ## Who it's for - **Cooperatives and aggregators** registering farmers, capturing plot polygons, and recording deliveries in the field. - **Processors** reconciling intake, tracking transformations, and preserving lineage across splits and merges. - **Exporters** preparing EUDR Due Diligence Statements and submitting them via TRACES NT. - **EU importers** verifying upstream provenance before placing products on the market. - **Auditors and competent authorities** consuming tamper-evident traceability bundles. - **Consumers** scanning a QR code on a bag of coffee or a chocolate bar to see the journey. ## What's in the box - **Plot registration** with WGS 84 polygons (or points for plots cooperative -> processor -> exporter -> EU importer, with optional on-chain escrow. - **Decentralised identity** via `did:hedera` and W3C Verifiable C …
