Appoints KOLTIVA to Achieve EUDR Compliance, Fortify its EU Market Presence"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh, September 12, 2024 \u2013 <\/b>Huy Anh Rubber Co., Ltd., a prominent player in Vietnam\u2019s rubber
\nsector, has taken a significant step toward sustainability by partnering with
\nKOLTIVA<\/a>, a leading sustainable agriculture and supply chain traceability
\ncompany. This collaboration aims to ensuring full compliance with the European
\nUnion Deforestation Regulation (EUDR<\/a>),\u00a0 a critical
\nregulation that raises the bar for sustainable practices by mandating zero
\ndeforestation in the production of EUDR-related commodities.
\nAs Vietnam continues to assert its leadership in
\nthe global rubber industry, the EUDR inspires companies like Huy Anh Rubber
\nCo., Ltd. to embrace enhanced compliance measures, highlighting the nation’s
\nbroader commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable development.<\/p>\n

The production of natural rubber in Vietnam has experienced
\nconsiderable growth since 1961. With its expansive rubber plantations, Vietnam is
\nthe third-largest rubber exporter in the world, contributing approximately 8.7%
\nof global rubber production (The Investor Vietnam, 2023<\/a>). In 2021,
\nVietnam\u2019s rubber production reached an impressive 1.3 million metric tons, with
\nthe tire industry consuming a substantial 70% of this output (Statista, 2024<\/a>). The nation\u2019s rubber is not only a
\ncritical component in tires but also finds applications in various sectors,
\nfrom automobile parts to medical equipment. With its substantial production,
\nVietnam\u2019s rubber sector is keen to maintain market access to the EU by adhering
\nto the EUDR requirements, prompting the businesses to follow suit.<\/p>\n

\"Rubber<\/p>\n

Huy Anh Rubber Co., Ltd., established in 2014 and headquartered in Thua
\nThien Hue, Vietnam, operates three processing plants\u2014two in Vietnam and one in
\nLaos\u2014where it produces high-quality natural rubber products such as SVR10\/TSR10,
\nTSR20, RSS3, SVR3L, SVRCV60, Masticated Rubber, and Compound Rubber. With the
\ndemand for sustainable rubber products grows, Huy Anh is significantly
\nexpanding its cultivation area, with projections to increase from 3,000 hectares
\nin 2024 to 15,000 hectares by 2025. Given the vast yet fragmented nature of its
\nsmall-scale cultivation areas, it is crucial for Huy Anh to develop a
\ncomprehensive traceable supply chain that links its factory, suppliers, and producers.<\/p>\n

In a significant move, Huy Anh has enlisted the expertise of KOLTIVA to
\nachieve EUDR compliance. KOLTIVA\u2019s innovative supply chain traceability and EUDR
\nsolutions are designed to help companies navigate the complexities of the regulation.
\nThrough this collaboration, Huy Anh aims to enhance its supply chain transparency,
\nensuring that its products are not only sustainable but also free from
\ndeforestation\u2014a key requirement of the EUDR.<\/p>\n

Le Thi Hong Mai, Deputy Director <\/b>of Huy Anh Rubber Co., Ltd<\/b>. shared their perspective on the collaboration, \u201cOur partnership with KOLTIVA marks a pivotal moment in our journey
\ntowards sustainability. The EUDR sets a high bar for environmental
\nresponsibility, and with KOLTIVA\u2019s expertise, we are confident in our ability
\nto meet these standards. This collaboration not only strengthens Huy Anh\u2019s
\nposition in the global market but also reinforces our commitment to responsible
\nbusiness practices.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

The KoltiTrace MIS<\/a> platform, developed by KOLTIVA, will play
\na crucial role by offering comprehensive supply chain mapping and risk
\nassessment capabilities to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements.
\nIt simplifies the process of documenting connections in Huy Anh\u2019s supply chain.<\/p>\n

\"EUDR<\/p>\n

As part of the process to map producers and farms, KOLTIVA trains Huy
\nAnh’s field agents who work closely with processors and suppliers to map approximately
\n10,000 smallholders within the processors’ supply chains using the KoltiTrace MIS
\nmobile application. These field agents then conduct comprehensive farm and risk
\nassessments for each producer, ensuring a thorough understanding of the
\nassociated risks within the agricultural landscape through the application. The
\nKoltiTrace MIS supports traceable transaction data from plantation to
\nprocessor, ensuring reproducible data with detailed origin information,
\nincluding farming data collection, producers’ profiles, and verified
\ntransactions. <\/p>\n

The KoltiTrace MIS also plays a crucial role in deforestation and
\nlegality verification, featuring automatic deforestation checks using annually
\nupdated Sentinel satellite data and local protected area maps to assess
\nproducers’ legal compliance. To meet EUDR requirements, KoltiTrace MIS facilitates
\nthe automatic generation of Due Diligence Statements, including GeoJSON format
\npolygons and risk assessments, simplifying the process for Huy Anh to complete
\nthe data required by their buyers. <\/p>\n

Manfred Borer, CEO<\/b> and<\/b> Co-Founder<\/b> of KOLTIVA, emphasized the importance of working
\ntogether with Huy Anh, stating, \u201cThe European Union\u2019s Deforestation Regulation
\nrepresents a critical step towards global sustainability. We assist Huy Anh, our
\nrubber client in Vietnam, by ensuring that their products comply with the
\nstringent requirements of the EUDR. Through our KoltiTrace MIS platform, we offer
\nthem comprehensive supply chain mapping, real-time risk assessment, and
\ndeforestation monitoring. This allows for precise tracking from plantation to
\nprocessor, enhancing transparency helping Huy Anh\u2019s commitment to environmental
\nstewardship and sustainable practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting in September 2024, Huy Anh will offer rubber products that
\ncomply with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), ensuring that
\nits customers in the EU receive products meeting the highest environmental
\nstandards. This will ensure that they can provide the best products with
\nenhanced marketability as it opens new opportunities in the EU market, where
\nconsumers and businesses are increasingly prioritizing sustainability.<\/p>\n

Huy Anh\u2019s commitment to sustainability,
\nsupported by KOLTIVA\u2019s holistic solutions, positions the company as a leader in
\nthe rubber industry. As Vietnam continues to expand its role in the global
\nrubber market, collaborations like this will be crucial in driving the industry
\ntoward a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
