Rubber · Near the Edo and Delta border, Edo

Rubber estate named Pamol Rubber Plantation, Edo

A large rubber estate near the Edo and Delta border, checked as 4 blocks. Three blocks need a person to look and one is Stop. Rubber estates fell and replant, so the loss record is large here. Its shipment is blocked.

The story

How this case was run.

The estate that OpenStreetMap names "Pamol Rubber Plantation", near the Edo and Delta border.

Its extent is an import from a names database (GNS). It is not a surveyed edge. Forestline used its 4 outer rings as 4 blocks, 2,689 hectares in all. It ignored the 5 holes OpenStreetMap lists inside it. The owner is not named and was not contacted.

This case shows Replant or Clear. Rubber estates fell old trees and plant again. So the loss record shows about 511 hectares of tree loss after 2020. Almost all of it is on land the EU 2020 forest map does not call forest. Forestline AI reads the photos for replanting. It sees rubber rows in both photos of every block, and reads old trees cut and planted again on all four: with high confidence on blocks 1 and 3, and with medium confidence on blocks 2 and 4. A person must look at every Check.

Blocks 1, 3 and 4 are Check. Block 2 is Stop. On 0.62 hectares of block 2, land that the EU 2020 map calls forest lost its trees in 2021 and 2022. That is 0.3% of the block. But the rule stops a farm at 0.5 hectares, whatever its size. Forestline AI read old rubber cut and planted again there, with medium confidence, and noted cloud and shadow over part of the second photo. Only a high-confidence replanting reading can lower a Stop, so block 2 stays Stop and a person must look.

No block is Clear and nobody has reviewed a Check. So no proof pack is built, and every bag is kept apart from the EU lot.

No bags were bought from this estate. The weights are estimates: each block's area times 1,000 kg a hectare a year, the published average for rubber. They are not records of any sale.

Shipment S-001 holds lot L-001 (2,689,098 kg, estimated). It is blocked: not for an EU buyer. Lot L-001 (2,689,098 kg) is not kept apart: 4 bag groups trace to a plot that is not cleared. Mixed goods cannot be fixed by leaving plots out of the farm location file. Take lot L-001 out of this shipment, or resolve its farms first. No one has approved any shipment for an EU buyer.

0.62 hectares of this plot was forest at the end of 2020 and has lost its trees in 2021 and 2022. That is less than 1% of the plot. Do not buy from it for the EU.

Plot code	Area	Result	Main reason
EDO-PML-0001	756.5 ha	Check	61.7 hectares lost trees after 2020 on land the EU 2020 map does not call forest. Often this is old rubber or cocoa cut and planted again. Ask for the planting year and proof. Forestline AI: Both photos show a large rubber plantation with regular rows and a grid of internal roads. The 2020 photo has some cloud at the bottom edge but the plantation is clearly visible. In the recent photo, some blocks appear lighter green, suggesting younger rubber trees, consistent with 61.7 ha of tree loss recorded since 2020, likely replanting of older rubber blocks.

The latest selected photo is clear and shows large rectangular blocks of rubber plantation at different growth stages, with a road on the right side. Some blocks appear younger (lighter green) than others, suggesting older rubber was cleared and replanted in parts of the plot.

Proof pack

The files an EU buyer would receive.

Built from this run. Farms that are Stop, unchecked or not reviewed are left out of the farm location file and listed. Bag weights are each farm's estimated season capacity (area times a published average yield), because no bags were bought from these farms.

Shipment S-001: Blocked

Something stops the handoff. Fix the blockers below.

Lot L-001 (2,689,098 kg) is not kept apart: 4 bag groups trace to a plot that is not cleared. Mixed goods cannot be fixed by leaving plots out of the farm location file. Take lot L-001 out of this shipment, or resolve its farms first.
4 plots behind these goods are not in the farm location file: EDO-PML-0001 (Check, no one has accepted it), EDO-PML-0002 (Stop), EDO-PML-0003 (Check, no one has accepted it), EDO-PML-0004 (Check, no one has accepted it). The goods and the producer locations do not match. Resolve these plots, or take the lots that hold their bags out of the shipment.

Nobody approved this case's shipment. It is a real run on public map data, so there is no approval to show.

1. Satellite check: Clear, Check or Stop for each farm.
2. A person's review: Every Check, and every farm where the maps and Forestline AI disagree.
3. Traceability: Every bag traces to a cleared farm.
4. Shipment approval: Until someone approves the handoff, the pack is a draft.
