Industry groups warn that the EU's proposed traceability rules would be extremely difficult to implement, requiring farm-level GPS mapping and digital tracing from farm to factory. Palm oil is singled out as especially hard to trace to specific plots.
Under the proposal, most companies would have 12 months to comply after the law takes effect.
If compliance proves costly or impractical, supply of soy and palm oil into the EU could tighten or become more expensive, supporting EU premiums. Industry pushback may also lead to delays or softer rules, which would reduce that pressure.
