Who we are

OriginWarden prepares the supplier data that importers of coffee and cocoa need for the EU Deforestation Regulation.

It’s run by Abbey Adedokun, a systems engineer of African origin based in Houston, Texas, with a background in cloud infrastructure and data security.

Why this work

From 30 December 2026, most importers need the location of every plot behind each lot of coffee or cocoa they place on the EU market. The importer files the statement, but the data sits with cooperatives and exporters, in spreadsheets, phone notes and paper, and much of it fails the EU’s rules the first time. Closing that gap takes patient follow-up with the people at origin. That’s the work we do.

How we work

• We take on a few importers at a time and follow up with their suppliers ourselves.
• Our own software checks every plot against the EU rules. It runs in Frankfurt and records every check and change.
• You stay the operator: you submit each statement under your own EU account.

What we don’t do

We don’t give legal advice, certify compliance or submit statements on your behalf.
