Platform
OriginTrace
Farmer and plot registration, agronomic monitoring and provenance for coffee, built for the first mile.
OriginTrace is Sysmera’s field-data platform. Field teams register farmers and walk plot boundaries on offline-first Android devices; agronomists score Good Agricultural Practice on every visit; cooperatives and associations get a clean register, plot geometry and delivery records that prove origin to buyers and regulators. In production with CIRAD-supported cooperatives since 2025.

EUDR timing
Under the EU Deforestation Regulation as revised in December 2025, large and medium operators must comply from 30 December 2026 and small and micro operators from 30 June 2027 (Regulation (EU) 2025/2650). OriginTrace exports plot geometry and farmer records in the form due-diligence statements require.
Data protection and hosting
Personal data is collected with consent and processed under the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019 and partner-country law; dedicated hosting with daily backups and offsite copies; data-processing agreements with programme owners.
