Let us put space technology to work for you.
WHO WE ARE
At Trade in Space, we understand how difficult it is to get your supply chains in order, especially when minimising your carbon footprint is a top priority every step of the way. We also know how daunting it can be to prove your compliance with sustainability regulations like EUDR.
The good news is, helping you figure all this out is what we’re all about.
We combine the global reach of geospatial satellite data with the traceability of blockchain technology to help you:
- • Track your supply chain from farm to fork
- • Monitor land use and halt deforestation
- • Evaluate carbon levels and protect biodiversity
- • Assess crop health and pest and disease risk
- • Provide complete transparency in your ESG reporting
When you work with us, you get more than a piece of software or a hands-off consultant. At Trade in Space, we work with our clients to build solutions collaboratively. If you need something we don’t already offer, we’ll find a way to get the data you need. You’ll soon think of us as a trusted partner who’ll bend over backwards to help you navigate a changing environment, changing rules, changing targets – our changing world

Evidence of Smallholders Losing Access to Market
African Smallholders Lose Access to Market The EUDR legislation poses a significant challenge for smallholder farmers, particularly in Africa. It's not deforestation on their farms that's causing the problem, but rather the lack of infrastructure, connectivity, and preparedness. Even though the legislation hasn't been fully enacted, evidence suggests that purchases of African coffee from smallholder farmers are already on the decline as African coffee exporters are witnessing the repercussions as contracts for coffee sales are being awarded to better-resourced countries like Brazil. This is especially concerning for countries like Ethiopia and Uganda, where the majority of coffee farming is done by smallholders. Ethiopia, in particular, heavily relies on the European Union (EU) market for its coffee exports, with approximately 5 million families dependent on this trade. Reuters has pointed out that any disruption in market access will have significant social consequences for the country.
