KahawaTrace: coffee plot mapping and EUDR traceability
KahawaTrace helps cooperatives, estates and exporters map farms by GPS, check every boundary, and export the geolocation data the EU Deforestation Regulation asks for.
- Works in the browser on Android phones
- 6-decimal GPS coordinates
- Consent recorded for every farmer

How it works
From the shamba to the shipment.
Five steps take a cooperative from paper member lists to a compliance-ready map of every plot.
- 1
Register farmers
Name, ID, cooperative and location, with the farmer’s consent recorded first.
- 2
Map coffee plots
One averaged GPS point for small plots, or walk the boundary of larger ones.
- 3
Validate the geometry
Self-crossing boundaries, overlaps, duplicates and size mismatches are flagged instantly.
- 4
Review and approve
Supervisors approve, reject or send a plot back for re-mapping, with a comment.
- 5
Export for the DDS
Download GeoJSON in WGS84 at 6 decimal places, ready for the EU Information System.
Features
Everything between the farm gate and the Due Diligence Statement.
Built for field agents on Android phones, supervisors at the factory, and compliance teams at the exporter.
Walk the boundary. We draw the plot.
Averaged GPS readings, a live accuracy indicator, a corner every 5 m while walking, and tap-to-map on satellite imagery. Area is worked out automatically.
Problems caught in the field, not in Brussels
Every plot is checked when it is saved, so mistakes are fixed while the agent is still on the farm.
A clear decision on every plot
Supervisors compare each map with the satellite image, then approve it, reject it, or send it back with a note.
GeoJSON for the DDS
Approved plots export with the properties the EU Information System expects.
The right tools for each role
Everyone sees what their job needs, and nothing more.
Every change, on the record
Who mapped, edited, reviewed or exported each plot, and when.
Grown on land not deforested after 2020Why it matters
Most smallholders have never had a map. Now every shamba can.
Coffee sold into the EU must be traceable to the plot where it was grown. For cooperatives with thousands of members and no maps, collecting accurate, checkable plot data is the hard part. That is the job KahawaTrace was built for.
- Designed for the fieldLarge touch targets, simple steps, and a GPS accuracy guide that works on everyday Android phones.
- Fair to farmersConsent comes first, and each farmer’s data stays linked to their own record.
- Trusted by buyersChecked, approved plots with a full history give exporters evidence they can stand behind.
The platform
See plots the way supervisors see them.
This is the real KahawaTrace map engine on live satellite imagery. Tap a plot to see its area, corners and GPS accuracy, just as a supervisor does before approving it.

About KahawaTrace
Built in Kenya, for the global coffee trade.
KahawaTrace is a Nairobi-built platform for mapping coffee farms and preparing EUDR geolocation data. It is made for the people who do the work: field agents walking plots, supervisors checking maps, and exporters filing Due Diligence Statements.
PrecisionGPS averaging, accuracy tracking and 6-decimal coordinates.
TransparencyEvery plot carries its review status and full history.
Data protectionConsent first, role-based access, in line with Kenya’s Data Protection Act.
SimplicityNo app store install: it runs in the phone’s browser.
