From Pasture to Passport: Why Livestock Software Should Link with EUDR Digital Product Passports

1M ago•

If you export cattle or beef products to the European Union, you must comply with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) by December 30th 2025 or June 30th, 2026 if you are a micro or small business. This landmark regulation requires all relevant products placed on the EU market to be deforestation-free and backed by comprehensive due diligence records.

🐄 The Compliance Burden for Beef Exporters, Leather Goods and Derivatives

For beef exporters, the challenge is to prove:

The origin of cattle (with precise GPS coordinates of grazing land)
Land use has been deforestation-free since December 31, 2020
Animal movement, treatment and processing history

Most of this data already exists in livestock software, but it must be structured, verified and digitally accessible. The missing piece is a Digital Product Passport (DPP) — and platforms like EUDR.Supply are designed to fill that gap.

Upload once. Use it many times. Once created, a DPP can be used across multiple export shipments — simplifying compliance and customs clearance.

🌍 Digital Product Passports: The EUDR.Supply Backbone

Take the complexity out of EUDR compliance. Build trust with proof.

EUDR.Supply, by Morpheus.Network, simplifies how you collect, verify and submit the evidence regulators require, and addresses the real-world challenges of exporting and importing into the EU. Get full visibility and control, even when sharing sensitive data up and down the supply chain or with unknown and future trading partners.

Powered by Confidios’ Digital Product Passports

At the heart of EUDR.Supply is the Confidios Digital Product Passport (DPP), a secure, tamper-proof digital record that travels with the product through the supply chain and contains all the evidence needed for compliance. It enables permissioned sharing of data across the supply chain while keeping sensitive information protected and under control. This makes compliance continuous, transparent and verifiable, building trust from origin to end market.

The EUDR compliance challenge

Once the EUDR is in force, companies must do more than just prove products are deforestation-free. They must provide verifiable, geo-linked evidence and traceability back to origin. The real complexity lies in:

Sharing sensitive data (e.g. producer labour law compliance, legality of land use, tax compliance, etc.) up the chain, where visibility is limited and trust is fragile
Providing that information to unknown or future trading partners, especially after the product enters the EU market (“post-gate”)
Ensuring ongoing, time-stamped compliance and not just a one-off declaration
Meeting digital traceability and due diligence reporting demands without introducing massive overheads or risk

How EUDR.Supply solves these challenges

Key features:

Automated Due Diligence Statements: Generate and manage reports in seconds.
✔Save time, reduce admin and meet TRACES deadlines with confidence.
Supply Chain Mapping: Track every material back to its source.
✔Prove origin, surface hidden risks and ensure accountability at every tier.
Risk Assessment Tools: Spot and act on risks before they become violations.
✔ Stay proactive with early warning tools built for compliance.
Deforestation Monitoring: Verify deforestation-free claims using satellite imagery.
✔ Add independent, timestamped proof that stands up to audits.
Supplier Management: Keep supplier documents, certifications and compliance status in one place. The Confidios Digital Product Passport. ✔(DPP) is a secure, portable record that travels with the product and contains all the supply chain evidence to prove every product’s compliance journey from origin to EU entry.

These passports ensure that key compliance data stays accessible, up to date and under control, no matter how many times a product changes hands. Built with Confidios’ trusted credential and permissioning technology, each DPP becomes your single source of truth: a secure, shareable asset that regulators can verify instantly, and you can control with precision, deciding who sees what, when and why.

What’s different here

Trusted Credential Containers (TCCs)

Each passport is built with Confidios’ Trusted Credential Containers, tamper-proof data bundles that store independently verified evidence. These aren’t just static records; they are immutably sealed packages that include:

Legality evidence
Geolocation evidence
Satellite verification
Due diligence declarations
Certification evidence and more

The result: every data point can be trusted because it has been checked, time-stamped and locked in.

Smart, granular permissioning

One of the biggest challenges with EUDR compliance is sharing sensitive data, especially when dealing with unknown upstream partners or future product owners. Our passports solve this with data-level permissioning powered by Confidios Self-Sovereign Data™.

Unlike traditional systems where data is handed over and copied, this approach treats data as self-sovereign: it stays where it was created and is accessed only with permission; not duplicated or passed around. With permissions set by data owners, the data knows exactly who it can be shared with and who can see what, when and why. Only the right parties get access to the right information, with no overexposure or compliance risks.

This protects confidentiality and eliminates the fragmentation and inconsistencies of email chains, spreadsheets or file-sharing platforms.

What you get

Prove compliance instantly: Share tamper-proof, verifiable evidence that regulators and partners can trust. No second-guessing, no repeated validation.
Protect sensitive information: Control exactly what’s shared, with whom and when, keeping confidential data secure while remaining fully auditable.
Simplify supplier and buyer interactions: Accelerate onboarding, simplify due diligence and reduce friction across your supply chain.* Stay traceable, even after import: Your Digital Product Passport travels with the product, maintaining traceability even after initial import, making resale or further trade easier within the EU.

What sets EUDR.Supply apart

EUDR.Supply, powered by Confidios Digital Product Passports, gives you more than just a compliance tool. It delivers lasting confidence in every trade. Backed by verifiable proof, smart data-level permissioning and traceability that extends beyond EU import, it’s how modern supply chains stay compliant, connected and credible.
