# New report on Danish soy imports and EU deforestation regulation - University of Copenhagen

> A University of Copenhagen report finds Denmark imports 1.2 to 1.7 million tonnes of soybean meal annually, mostly for livestock feed. It concludes that only 6 percent of certified soy imports are physically traceable, which poses compliance challenges under the EU deforestation regulation.
