A Croner-i feature explains that Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 requires operators to prove that soy, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa, coffee, rubber and derived products do not come from recently deforested land. Compliance is due by December 2024, with a later deadline for micro and small enterprises.
Due-diligence requirements across soy and beef supply chains may raise compliance costs and favour traceable origins. This is a background regulatory factor with limited near-term price impact.
After 356 past bullish policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.2% to +2.3%), and -0.9% over 20.
After 548 past bullish policy events, Palm Oil moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -0.7% to +2.1%), and +0.9% over 20.
