A Climate Policy Initiative paper dated October 3, 2023 assesses how the EUDR, which bans imports of goods from land deforested after December 31, 2020, will affect Brazilian agribusiness. It notes that the EU is Brazil's second-largest soy and oil palm export destination, with covered exports estimated at US$17.5 billion in 2022.
Enforcement from late 2024 could shift Brazilian soy and palm products toward non-EU buyers or add premiums for compliant origin, affecting EU import demand.
