# Harvesting the Low-hanging Fruit: Implications of the EUDR on the Global Palm Oil Supply Chain - Rabobank

> Rabobank analysis says the EUDR, adopted by the European Council in May 2023, will require investment across the palm oil supply chain. It notes that RSPO identity-preserved and segregated models can serve as a short-term compliance route within the 18-month grace period. Smallholder involvement is identified as key to avoiding their exclusion from EU markets.

## Why it matters

Compliance costs and segregated supply chains could tighten available EU-eligible palm oil and raise premiums for certified volumes. The longer-term effect is an incentive to expand traceable production rather than an immediate supply shock.
