> An analysis from CIFOR's TRADE Hub says Indonesia could benefit from the EU Deforestation Regulation if it resolves legality issues and stops forest conversion. It notes Indonesian palm oil is largely deforestation-free at the 2020 cut-off due to a three-to-four-year lag between clearing and production.

## Why it matters

Indonesian palm oil's compliance advantage could support its share of EU demand relative to competitors, a modest bullish factor for palm oil versus rivals. The effect on feed-relevant prices is small.
