A White & Case legal briefing outlines ten obligations under the EU Deforestation Regulation, which covers cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood. It notes the proposed 12-month delay and says companies should prepare for obligations from 30 December 2025.
The briefing advises companies to start due diligence on their supply chains now.
The briefing is legal guidance that reinforces the 2025 compliance date for palm oil and soy supply chains. It does not signal a change in trade flows or prices.

Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
