An academic editorial in European Foreign Affairs Review examines whether the EU can reduce its global deforestation footprint. It cites UNEP/FAO data showing about 420 million hectares of forest lost over three decades, mainly to agricultural expansion and illegal logging driven partly by trade.
It frames EU import rules on forest-risk commodities such as soy, palm oil, beef and cocoa, which could reshape sourcing and trade flows for feed ingredients over time.
After 554 past neutral policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.6% over 20.
After 513 past neutral policy events, Palm Oil moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
