Legal commentary describes the EU Deforestation Regulation, which entered into force on June 29, 2023. The rules cover cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soya and wood, and require due diligence proving products are deforestation-free after December 31, 2020.
Large and medium companies face the main obligations, with SMEs granted certain exemptions.
Soy, palm oil and cattle products sold into the EU must now be verified as traceable, which could shift trade flows toward lower-risk origins. The final cost impact depends on how strictly compliance is enforced.
