> Fern published an explainer on the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which bars products linked to deforestation from the EU market and covers seven commodities including soy, palm oil, wood, coffee, cocoa, beef and rubber. It addresses claims that the rules will greatly increase bureaucracy for farmers and foresters, noting the regulation builds on the existing EU Timber Regulation.

## Why it matters

Compliance requirements for soy, palm oil and beef exporters to the EU could shift trade flows and raise documentation costs, a modest long-run factor for feed-relevant commodities.
