all cocoa plots must be provided. Each polygon must be associated with the correct farmer code from the farmer/farm register. The productive cocoa area (in hectares) must be polygon -mapped and linked to a unique polygon in the polygon database.
Revision : The data submitted by
partner cooperatives is reviewed for
•
completeness, accuracy, and consistency by Tony's Open Chain and relevant partners in the Tony’s Open Chain Supply Network. Partner cooperatives will be asked to correct any data errors or issues identified through this process (for example, completing required information that may be missing , correcting inaccurate data formatting, or addressing polygon overlap s and re-mapping plots where applicable ). • Finalization of FMD : Any farmer/farm that misses or contains inconsistent data on the mandatory fields on the final date of submission will be excluded from delivering to T ony’s Open Chain in the next cocoa season , as they will not be included in the FMD . To ensure this data is available for use in various analyses, the final approved datasets together with all the intermediate datasets are locked and stored in a centralized location .
2. Deforestation Risk Analysis
What? All farms in the Farmer Register must be assessed for deforestation by Tony’s Open Chain’s Deforestation Risk Analysis partner (s).
When? Before the cocoa season begins .
Key steps in the process: •
Data submission : The Tony’s Open Chain Data Team submits all polygon data from the Farmer Master Dataset with Enveritas, our third -party Deforestation Risk Analysis P artner. • Land cover change analysis : Enveritas conducts an analysis to answer several key questions, including the question: “Which farms have seen non - compliant deforestation after 2020?”. The methodology combines very high - resolution satellite imagery (0.5 meters) with ground -truthing, as well as a team of full time data labellers to review the satellite imagery and reduce risk of false positives. Enveritas relies on two in -house models :
