Too many producers for one EUDR statement (1,000 per commodity)

What the Information System does

It refuses producer data above the limits: "The total number of producers data per commodity cannot exceed a certain amount (presently set to 1000). The total number of producers data per DDS cannot exceed a certain amount (presently set to 10,000)" (Information System validation rules, Geolocation Producers information).

What the checker reports for this file:

1. This file names 1,001 distinct producers. A single commodity within a statement accepts at most 1,000, so this will only upload if the producers are spread across several commodities.

Fix it in EUDRplot

1. Open the file in the checker. The warning says how many distinct producers the file has, counted as distinct ProducerName and ProducerCountry pairs.
2. Split by producer. In the Download panel choose Split by producer. The file is divided into parts within the limit, and no producer's plots are separated across two parts.
3. Submit each part as its own statement. Once submitted, the statements can be grouped under one that references them.

Fix it in QGIS

1. Number the producers. In the Field Calculator, create an integer field part with floor(array_find(array_distinct(aggregate('your_layer', 'array_agg', "ProducerName")), "ProducerName") / 1000), replacing your_layer with the layer's name.
2. Split on that field. Run Split vector layer from the Processing Toolbox with part as the unique field. Each output has at most 1,000 producers.
3. Export each as GeoJSON. Save each part as GeoJSON in EPSG:4326 and check it.
