# EUDR Parcel Screener — Deforestation Check (JRC maps) (`prometheusagency/eudr-parcel-screener`) Actor

Screen farm plots against the EU's official EUDR reference maps: forest on the 31-Dec-2020 cut-off (JRC GFC2020), post-2020 deforestation signal (JRC TMF) and the EC country risk tier. Evidence for your due diligence statement.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## EUDR Parcel Screener — Deforestation Check with the Official EU Maps

Screen farm plots and supply-chain parcels for **EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation 2023/1115)** risk in seconds — against the **same reference maps the EU regulator publishes**:

- 🌳 **JRC GFC2020 v3** — the European Commission's global forest cover map for the legal cut-off date **31 December 2020** (10 m resolution).
- 🛰️ **JRC Tropical Moist Forest (TMF)** — post-2020 forest conversion signal across the tropical belt, where coffee, cocoa, palm oil, rubber and soy are grown.
- 🇪🇺 **EC country benchmarking** (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093) — low / standard / high risk tier per country, embedded and up to date.

**One row per parcel**: screening verdict (`LOW` / `REVIEW` / `HIGH`), % forest on the 2020 baseline, % post-2020 deforestation signal, country risk tier, the due-diligence level that applies, and plain-language reasons you can attach to your **due diligence statement (DDS)** risk assessment for TRACES.

### Who is this for?

- **Importers / operators** placing cocoa, coffee, wood, rubber, soy, palm oil or cattle products on the EU market (deadline: **30 Dec 2026** for large/medium operators, **30 Jun 2027** for micro/small).
- **Exporters and cooperatives** in producing countries who need to show EU buyers their plots are deforestation-free.
- **Consultants and compliance SaaS** who want a per-check geospatial API instead of building GIS infrastructure.
- **AI agents** — this Actor is exposed via MCP, so agents can screen parcels autonomously.

### Input

Point + radius for smallholder plots, or exact polygons (EUDR expects polygons above 4 ha):

```json
{
  "parcels": [
    { "id": "farm-1", "lat": 4.8, "lon": -75.6, "radiusMeters": 120, "country": "CO" },
    { "id": "block-7", "polygon": [[-62.73, -9.77], [-62.71, -9.77], [-62.71, -9.75], [-62.73, -9.75]], "country": "BR" }
  ]
}
````

GeoJSON FeatureCollections are also accepted (e.g. exported from your farm registry).

### Output (one item per parcel)

```json
{
  "parcelId": "block-7",
  "riskLevel": "HIGH",
  "reasons": "Post-2020 deforestation signal on 97.2% of the parcel: forest on the official 2020 baseline (JRC GFC2020) now mapped as deforested (JRC TMF).",
  "country": "Brazil",
  "countryRiskTier": "standard",
  "dueDiligenceLevel": "full due diligence",
  "forest2020Pct": 97.2,
  "post2020LossPct": 97.2,
  "tmfCoveragePct": 100,
  "sources": "JRC GFC2020 v3 (2020 baseline) + JRC TMF 2024 (change) + EC benchmarking 2025/1093",
  "checkedAt": "2026-07-04T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Why this Actor?

- **The regulator's own data.** The forest baseline is the map the Commission publishes specifically to support EUDR risk assessment — not a proprietary black box.
- **Per-check pricing.** No subscription, no seats, no onboarding call. Screen 3 parcels or 3,000.
- **Verdicts you can explain.** Every result carries human-readable reasons and the exact sources, ready to attach as evidence.
- **Works for agents.** Available through MCP so AI workflows can call it directly.

### Honest limitations

10 m resolution means very small clearings can be missed and edges are approximate; the JRC maps are **non-mandatory, non-exclusive** evidence under EUDR. Treat results as a **screening signal to prioritise due diligence**, not as a legal determination. Post-2020 change detection (TMF) covers the tropical belt; outside it, the 2020 baseline and country tier still apply and the output says so explicitly.

### 🇪🇸 Chequeo EUDR de parcelas — en español

Comprueba parcelas contra el **Reglamento Europeo de Deforestación (EUDR)** usando los **mapas oficiales de la Comisión**: bosque a 31-dic-2020 (JRC GFC2020), señal de deforestación posterior a 2020 (JRC TMF) y el nivel de riesgo país oficial (bajo/estándar/alto).

Pensado para **importadores españoles** y **exportadores y cooperativas de América Latina** (café, cacao, madera, soja, palma, caucho, vacuno): una fila por parcela con veredicto (`LOW`/`REVIEW`/`HIGH`), porcentajes de bosque y pérdida, y motivos en lenguaje claro para adjuntar a tu **declaración de diligencia debida (DDS)** en TRACES. Fechas límite: **30-dic-2026** (grandes y medianas) y **30-jun-2027** (micro y pequeñas). Pago por chequeo, sin suscripción.

# Actor input Schema

## `parcels` (type: `array`):

One object per plot: {"id", "lat", "lon", "radiusMeters" (default 120), "country"} for point+radius, or {"id", "polygon": \[\[lon,lat], …], "country"} for exact boundaries. Country = ISO2 code or name (for the EC risk tier). EUDR expects polygons for plots over 4 ha.

## `geojson` (type: `string`):

Optional: a GeoJSON FeatureCollection of Points/Polygons (e.g. exported from your farm registry). Feature properties "id" and "country" are used if present. Processed in addition to the parcels list.

## `defaultCountry` (type: `string`):

Country applied to parcels that do not specify one — ISO2 code (CO, BR, CI…) or name in English/Spanish. Determines the EC benchmarking tier (low/standard/high).

## `gridSize` (type: `integer`):

Resolution of the sampling window per parcel (8-48). 24 ≈ native 10 m resolution for a typical smallholder plot. Higher = finer but slower.

## `riskThresholdPct` (type: `integer`):

Flag HIGH risk when at least this % of the parcel shows post-2020 conversion of 2020-baseline forest. EUDR tolerates no deforestation, so keep this low (default 1).

## `maxParcels` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many parcels (1-500). Each parcel produces one result item.

  "parcels": [
