# Global impact of the EU’s anti-deforestation law

> S&P Global assesses that the EU deforestation regulation will likely reconfigure trade and supply chains for deforestation-linked commodities over the next decade. Impacts are expected in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, Argentina, and cocoa origins such as Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana. Most producing countries are expected to focus on enforcing existing rules rather than enacting new legislation within a year.

## Why it matters

Higher compliance costs and tracing requirements could shift EU-bound palm oil, soy and beef trade toward low-risk origins. The outlook is long-term, so near-term price effects are limited.
