Announcement and Regulatory Context

TRST01 (TrayamBhu Tech Solutions Private Limited) announced that its TRST01Chain platform and the newly launched TRST01 EUDR Hub are fully operational to support Indian exporters of coffee, natural rubber and soy in complying with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The regulation becomes mandatory for large and medium operators on 30 December 2026, with micro and small operators required to comply by 30 June 2027. The EU has finalized the application date through Regulation (EU) 2025/2650 and signalled no further postponement. The EU’s EUDR Information System, which must receive every Due Diligence Statement, reopened at the end of June 2026 after a technical rebuild, and the European Commission adopted Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1565 in July 2026 setting technical rules. A provision routing statements to national enforcement authorities takes effect on 15 October 2026.

Market Implications and Risks

India is classified as a low‑risk country under the EU’s country‑risk framework, meaning buyers face simplified due‑diligence procedures, but this does not exempt exporters from providing plot‑level geolocation, proof that land was not deforested after 31 December 2020, and evidence of compliance with local laws. Failure to deliver verifiable data could cause European buyers to shift orders to other origins, risking loss of market share from 2027 onward.

Commodity‑Specific Readiness

Natural Rubber

India ranks as the world’s fifth‑largest producer and second‑largest consumer of natural rubber. The Rubber Board of India (BSNR) has adopted TRST01’s farm‑to‑shipment traceability framework, which issues zero‑cost certificates confirming the origin and EUDR compliance of each rubber batch. This creates a ready‑to‑use compliance solution for European tyre manufacturers and other buyers.

Coffee

Indian coffee exports reached a record USD 2.13 billion in FY 2025‑26, a 17 % increase in value on roughly 407 000 tonnes of volume. About 70 % of coffee is exported, with Europe accounting for approximately 60 % of shipments, led by Italy, Germany and Belgium. Most Indian coffee is shade‑grown, positioning it favorably to demonstrate deforestation‑free status. The Coffee Board is digitising grower registration via a mobile app. Currently, 20 Indian coffee exporters are using TRST01Chain, delivering plot‑level geolocation, deforestation checks and lot‑by‑lot traceability to European buyers. Soluble (instant) coffee will fall under EUDR on 30 December 2027, so exporters building traceability now will be prepared for that later deadline.

Soy

India produced about 11.3 million tonnes of soybean in 2023‑24 and forecasts a 13 % growth in soymeal exports, driven by European demand for traceable, non‑GMO feed. Because commercial cultivation of GM food crops is prohibited in India, its soy is largely non‑GMO, offering a dual advantage of non‑GMO and deforestation‑free assurance. In partnership with the Soybean Processors Association of India (SOPA), TRST01 provides member exporters with plot‑level geo‑mapping and EUDR‑ready traceability.

Platform Reach and Capabilities

TRST01 has built more than 100 EUDR traceability platforms for rubber, coffee and soy across India and seven other countries, and holds reference letters from the Rubber Board of India and the Open AgriTrace Stack (OATS) initiative. The platform maps farms using proprietary drones and other mapping methods, runs AI‑driven deforestation analysis against the 31 December 2020 cut‑off, and tracks every lot from plot to processor to port. Over 200 clients across Southeast Asia, Africa and India use the system.

TRST01 EUDR Hub

The TRST01 EUDR Hub (eudrhub.cloud) entered open beta in September 2026, offering connected workspaces for operators, suppliers and downstream buyers. Field data flows directly into the due‑diligence package required by European buyers. The hub includes thirteen step‑by‑step tutorial videos on the TRST01 YouTube channel, and operators can start with a 30‑day free trial.

Leadership Commentary and Call to Action

Founder and CEO Prabir Mishra stated that India has completed the hard part of growing world‑class coffee and rubber without forest clearance, but the proof required by Europe must be delivered now. He urged exporters, commodity boards and ministries to treat the remaining weeks as a national sprint, emphasizing that the infrastructure is ready and the will to use it is needed.

Specific Recommendations

TRST01 calls on the export ecosystem to act on three fronts before the deadline: (1) Exporters should map supplying plots, run deforestation checks and complete a dry‑run Due Diligence Statement with at least one EU buyer before December; (2) Commodity Boards should adopt interoperable, government‑owned traceability rails to include small growers; (3) Ministries should support public‑private models where the government retains data ownership and exporters share modest per‑shipment fees.
