The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which requires proof that covered commodities are deforestation-free, has been postponed by one year. Covered products include palm oil, soy, cattle, coffee, cocoa, wood and rubber.
Compliance will now begin on 30 December 2025 instead of 30 December 2024.
The delay postpones compliance costs and traceability requirements for palm oil and soy exporters to the EU, so near-term trade flows are largely unchanged. Price impact is limited for now, but the rules remain a longer-term cost factor for these supply chains.
