Autonomous impact.

In under 8 hours, we autonomously scanned the entire Earth and used Perceptron to find 21 illegal plantations under EU law: forest in 2020, cleared after 31 December 2020.

On these frames
17,892 ha

About 44,000 acres. The loss area listed under each place, added up.

If the EU kept that oil out
€65 million a year

Only if every hectare were palm oil. About 59,000 tonnes at Indonesia’s 2024/25 yield of 3.3 tonnes a hectare, priced at the EU’s 2025 crude palm-oil import average of €1,104 a tonne.

Against EU imports
About 4%

That tonne count is about 4% of the 1.68 million tonnes of crude palm oil the EU imported in 2025, if this oil were turned away at the border.
