At the end of 2024, the EUDR regulation will come into force for large and medium firms dealing with certain commodities and it will require traceablility - the tracking of the commodity from source to end use. Why will this regulation enforce traceability when others haven't? What does it mean and what is needed in a CTRM/CM solution?

We asked Saurabh Goyal of Phlo Systems and Richard Williamson of Gen10.
