# The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is amended: what is the EUDR and what must companies do now?

> The EUDR has been amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, and the briefing explains what the regulation covers and what companies must do. It applies from 30 December 2026 for medium and large operators and 30 June 2027 for micro and small operators. Seven commodities including soy, cattle, oil palm and coffee must be deforestation-free, legally produced and traceable to plots.

## Why it matters

Soy, palm oil and cattle-related products face compliance costs and traceability requirements for EU sales, which could shift trade flows and add cost to EU-bound supply. The impact on feed-relevant prices is modest near term because the rules start in late 2026.
