Secure your EU access

Secure your EU access: Share your geolocation via LPA now 

27 July 2025 | 4-Min Read

European Union Deforestation Regulations (EUDR) will be applied from 30 December 2025.   

Cattle producers are urged to share their geolocation using the new LPA Geolocation tool as soon as possible, to avoid the risk of their cattle becoming ineligible for export to the EU.  

From 30 December 2025, European importers of beef, beef products, leather and hides will require access to the lifetime geolocation data of the cattle these products are sourced from.

What is a geolocation?

A ‘geolocation’ is a latitude and longitude coordinate to a minimum of six decimal places. For cattle, the EUDR requires a single geolocation coordinate to describe the establishments where cattle have been kept, i.e. one latitude and one longitude coordinate.


That's almost six months away, why the urgency? 

Australia’s export supply chain will be impacted by these new regulations long before the 30 December 2025 deadline comes into effect, with many feedlots and processors sourcing beef cattle for EU meat exports several months in advance.  

Many of the cattle coming into these programs will need to have the required geolocation data in place to enable their meat or other products, such as leather and hides, to be exported to the EU.  If this geolocation data isn’t available, these animals may not meet the eligibility requirements for EU export next year. 

At present, it's estimated that only one-fifth of cattle being presented for the EU market have geolocation data available. This number needs to lift dramatically in the next month or two to ensure continuity of Australia’s EU supply chain.  

Who will my geolocation be shared with?

Geolocations will be shared via the NLIS to feedlots and processors who export to the EU. Processors and feedlots will share the geolocations with EU importers who will then submit them as part of import documentation, which includes a due diligence statement, to the EU Commission. Processors and feedlots may also be required to share geolocations with other third parties to assist in their due diligence.


There’s a simple solution 

To share their geolocation and support continued market access to Europe, Australian cattle producers will need to provide their geolocation by visiting the ‘Programs’ section in their LPA account and clicking ‘Share Geolocation for Land Management & EU’.  

Follow the steps in this factsheet to share your geolocation.  

Sharing a geolocation via LPA means the information about the relevant animal can be readily available to European importers without it being connected to the producer’s Property Identification Code – ensuring a producer’s privacy is protected and that they maintain control of their data at all times.

Why should I opt-in to provide and share my geolocation?

For EUCAS-accredited producers, opting in means your cattle will continue to be eligible for export to the EU. 
For many producers who are not EUCAS-accredited, opting in is still important due to leather and hide exports to the EU. These are not sourced solely from EUCAS producers and by sharing their geolocation data, non-EUCAS producers will ensure they remain eligible to access that market. 

 
What are the implications if you delay sharing geolocations via LPA?  

Producers can choose not to participate in sharing their geolocation data. However, any beef, beef products and leather/hides from livestock without whole-of-life geolocation data may not be eligible for EU market access after the new regulation comes into effect.
