European soybean buyers and sellers are cautious after the European Commission proposed delaying EUDR enforcement for micro and small operators to December 30, 2026. The large and medium operator deadline remains December 30, 2025.
Participants warn of tighter supply, rising premiums and feed cost planning difficulties.
Compliance uncertainty over EUDR can add premiums to soy and meal imports into Europe, raising feed costs. Buyers are limiting forward commitments until the rules are clarified.
