The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires operators and traders to ensure that relevant products are deforestation-free and legally produced. Large and medium companies must comply from 30 December 2025, and micro and small enterprises from 30 June 2026.
Non-compliance can lead to trade bans, fines and potential criminal liability.
Compliance costs and traceability requirements for soy, palm oil and cattle-linked products entering the EU could tighten supply of verified-compliant volumes and add premiums. The effect on prices is still uncertain until enforcement begins.
After 554 past neutral policy events, SOY moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.6% over 20.
After 513 past neutral policy events, PALMOIL moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
