Low-Risk Is Not Plot-Free: Thailand Rubber Still Needs RAOT Geolocation Smallholders Can Reuse under EUDR

Thailand’s low-risk EUDR banding buys simplified due diligence and a 1% inspection rate — not a waiver of plot geolocation. RAOT’s GIS registry exists but is voluntary; smallholders without formal tenure remain the exclusion risk. NGO and development finance must purchase producer-held registration, not tyre-buyer portal capture, before 30 December 2026.
