Your European Refinery Sources 80% of Guatemala's Palm Oil Exports. EUDR Compliance Is Now the Price of Admission. Here's the Document — Generated in 15 Minutes.

Guatemala has nearly doubled its palm oil production since 2015, producing approximately 920,000 metric tons in 2023 and ranking as the world's third largest exporter of crude palm oil after Indonesia and Malaysia. Over 80% is exported, with EU buyers as key destinations. GREPALMA coordinates the industry, and 60% of Guatemalan palm oil is RSPO-certified — the highest rate in Latin America. But the EUDR requires documentation beyond any voluntary certification. Guatemala is classified as standard risk under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093 — full DDS required. Production is concentrated in Petén, Alta Verapaz, Izabal and Quiché, plus the southern coast. 95% of oil palm area is under corporate ownership.

Three most common mistakes

Pattern 1 — Standard risk misinterpretation

Guatemala is standard risk — full DDS required regardless of operator size

No simplified declaration regime applies.

Pattern 2 — Polygon data missing

Large plantations in Petén and Alta Verapaz without polygon mapping

Guatemala's palm plantations are predominantly large-scale. Article 2(28) requires polygons for every block >4 ha.

Pattern 3 — RSPO as Article 10 substitute

60% RSPO-certified, but RSPO ≠ DDS

Article 10.2(m): complementary evidence. The full 14-criteria analysis is required.
