Rubber orchard near Benin City, Edo

A rubber orchard of 24.8 hectares near Benin City, in Edo.

OpenStreetMap contributors mapped it and tagged the trees as rubber (Hevea brasiliensis). The edge comes from an OpenStreetMap map, not a survey. No farmer or owner was contacted.

The orchard is over 4 hectares, so Europe's no-deforestation rule (EUDR) needs the full farm edge, not one point. Forestline ran the Cut-off Check on that edge with real satellite records.

The EU 2020 forest map shows no forest inside it. The forest loss record shows no tree loss inside it after 2020, and 8.0 hectares of tree loss before 2021. The satellite alerts show no new tree loss since 2021. The result is Clear.

Forestline AI read both photos as dense tree cover with no change, with medium confidence. Rubber trees look like forest from above. So the check rests on the EU 2020 forest map and the loss record, not on the photos alone.

No bags were bought from this orchard. The bag weight in the pack is an estimate: the area times 1,000 kg a hectare a year, the published average for rubber. It is not a record of any sale.

Shipment S-001 holds lot L-001 (24,778 kg, estimated). It is a draft pack. The goods, the weights and the farm location file tie together. But land papers are missing for 1 plot: EDO-BNN-0001. No farmer or owner was contacted, so there are no papers. No one has approved any shipment for an EU buyer.
