More than 90% of Brazil's oil-palm production is in Pará, where plantations and mills operate within a forest-rich Amazon landscape. Each lot needs to stay connected to the plots that supplied the mill, while satellite evidence helps separate established plantations from later forest loss. Bosqio brings plot locations, forest-change evidence, land and company records, producer documents and follow-up evidence into one traceable record.
Brazilian palm-oil due diligence depends on a clear link between each lot and every plantation plot that supplied the mill. The main evidence combines the 2020 forest baseline, later land change, regional oil-palm context, land and embargo records, company records and producer documents.
Maps and satellite signals provide context rather than a simple pass or fail. Oil palm stays green through much of the year, while cloud cover, replanting and plantation management can change individual images. Conclusions therefore depend on several dates and evidence sources.
Brazil is classed as standard risk under the EU country benchmark. This is not a pass or proof of compliance for palm oil from Brazil. Operators still need to collect the required information, assess risk, and follow up until any identified risk is negligible.
More than 90% of Brazil's oil-palm production is in Pará, where plantations sit within a forest-rich Amazon landscape. The regional map helps you understand whether a declared plot lies in an established production area and how it relates to the 2020 forest baseline. A mapped oil-palm area is useful context, but it is not proof that a plot complies.
Most Brazilian oil palm is grown in Pará, within the Amazon region, so the timing and exact location of land change matter. For EUDR evidence, the key question is whether forest loss or conversion occurred inside a supplied plot after 31 December 2020. Established plantations and older cleared land need to remain separate from later inside-plot change, while nearby alerts add context rather than an automatic failure.
Palm fruit moves from plantations to mills, so plot-to-mill records matter alongside satellite evidence. CAR data helps connect each plantation to the rural property, while IBAMA embargoes and protected or traditional territories add land and legality context. CNPJ records identify growers, mills, traders and exporters and can be matched with official labour enforcement records. A record match needs review; the identifier alone is not evidence of wrongdoing.
Bosqio helps you understand what happened on and around your oil-palm plot. Bosqio's own satellite data pipeline brings the newest available observations and alerts together with historical imagery to build a clear time series. This helps you follow an established plantation around the EUDR cutoff and see whether a change appeared inside the plot or nearby. New data, including same-day observations when available, keeps the picture current.
Oil palm usually keeps a strong vegetation signal, but cloud cover, replanting and plantation management can affect optical images. NDVI and NBR show how vegetation changes over time, while Sentinel-1 radar adds structural context through clouds. Together, the signals help separate stable plantation patterns from a lasting change that needs closer review.
Not every change in an oil-palm signal is deforestation. Replanting, pruning, access-road work, cloud cover and image noise can all affect the map. The strongest clues are where the change sits relative to the plot, when it began and whether it remains visible in later observations.
