We don't map farms.
We verify them.
Uganda has already mapped over a million coffee farms. ProofSource is the independent satellite layer that checks those plots against the 31 December 2020 forest baseline.
Evidence your EU buyer will accept — not another registry to fill in.
Registration is solved. Verification isn't.

Export figures: MAAIF Coffee Department monthly reports, 12 months to May 2026 (8.6 million 60-kg bags). Registration target: MAAIF national coffee farmer register.
Mapped is not the same as verified
Uganda's national register records where farms are. It does not independently prove that each plot was forest-free on 31 December 2020 — and that is the evidence EU operators must hold. Non-compliance means market exclusion and fines up to 4% of EU turnover.
Satellite-Powered Verification
A preview of how we will read Sentinel-2 imagery across Uganda's coffee regions to test each registered plot against the 31 December 2020 cutoff.
One Layer, Done Properly
Uganda already has farm registration, a national traceability system and free mapping tools. What it does not have is independent, plot-level proof that those farms are deforestation-free.
Bring Your Own Plots
We take the polygons you already have — from the MAAIF register, your traceability provider, or a free tool like TerraTrac. No re-registration, no duplicate data collection.
Plot-Level Verification
Sentinel-2 time series analysed against the JRC 2020 forest baseline, plot by plot, to test whether each boundary was forest-free on 31 December 2020.
Built to Sit On Top
Designed to work alongside the National Coffee Traceability System and the MAAIF-approved providers — as their satellite layer, not a competing register.
DDS-Ready Evidence
The EU importer files the due diligence statement. We produce the evidence pack behind it: geolocation, deforestation assessment and method, in the format their system expects.
Published Accuracy
Precision and recall reported by region, with the validation method and failure cases open to inspection. A verification you cannot audit is not evidence.
Independent of Any Buyer
Not funded by a single roaster or tied to one supply chain. The same assessment stands up to any importer, auditor or competent authority that asks.
Verification You Can Check
Open method, free public imagery, repeatable on every shipment
Open Method
Published, reproducible
Free Imagery
Copernicus Sentinel-2
Per Shipment
Re-run on every lot
How It Works
You keep your existing registration and traceability. We add the one thing neither the national system nor a free mapping app gives you: independent proof.
Send Us Your Plots
Export the polygons you already hold — from the MAAIF register, your traceability provider, or a free mapping app. GeoJSON in, nothing to re-collect.
We Check Them
Each plot is tested against Sentinel-2 imagery and the JRC 2020 forest baseline to establish whether it was forest-free on 31 December 2020.
You Get a Verdict
A per-plot result with a confidence score, the flagged plots that need ground-truthing, and the method used to reach it.
Your Buyer Gets Evidence
The output is packaged as due diligence evidence your EU importer can rely on when they file their statement.
AI-Powered Deforestation Detection
A preview of the change-detection step. Accuracy will be published by region, with the validation method and failure cases open to inspection.
Complete Coverage
From Mt. Elgon to Rwenzori, verification will cover every major coffee-growing region — wherever your registered plots already are.

The Clock is Ticking
The EUDR applies in two waves — large and medium operators from 30 December 2026, micro and small enterprises from 30 June 2027. Preparation takes 6–12 months, so the work starts now.
Free Plot Verification
Send us the polygons you already hold and we verify 100 of them against the 2020 forest baseline, free, while the platform is in development.
EUDR Applies — Large & Medium Operators
Due diligence statements become mandatory for large and medium EU operators placing coffee on the market.
Field Pilot
Farm registration and satellite verification piloted with founding members and partner cooperatives.
Platform Launch
ProofSource goes live with MAAIF traceability integration. Founding members get first access.
EUDR Applies — Micro & Small Operators
The regulation extends to micro and small enterprises, bringing most Ugandan cooperatives and smaller exporters into scope.
Verify 100 Plots, Free
Send us the polygons you already have and we will check 100 of them against the 31 December 2020 forest baseline, at no cost. You keep the result either way.
