EUDR GeoJSON rejected: plot over 4 hectares mapped as a point
Larger production places must be described with a polygon of their actual boundary — a single point is only allowed for small plots.
What the check requires
A blocking error — the EUDR information system refuses the file until it is resolved.
Why files fail this check
The regulation draws a line by area: small plots may be declared as one coordinate point, larger ones need the full boundary so the land can actually be checked against the satellite forest baseline. A point that declares (or defaults to) an area above the threshold fails.
Points without an explicit Area property are treated as the threshold size by the EUDR system, so an unlabelled point for a large farm hides the problem rather than avoiding it. Cattle establishments are the one exception the regulation makes.
How it gets fixed
No tool can turn a point into the real boundary — the engine does not know where your field ends, and guessing would be fabrication. The plot needs to be mapped as a polygon: walk the boundary with a GPS app, or trace it over satellite imagery in your GIS tool.
Once the polygon exists, the free check measures its area for you and verifies it against everything else in the catalogue.
