# How to address the EU's role in global deforestation - IEEP AISBL

> The IEEP published an analysis of the EU's role in global deforestation, citing 7.6 million hectares of forest lost yearly in 2010-2015 and 3.6 million hectares of primary rainforest lost in 2018. It notes the EU's high imports of palm oil, soy, cocoa and coffee.

- Commodities: [Palm Oil](https://feedsoft.ai/c/PALMOIL.md), [Soybeans](https://feedsoft.ai/c/SOY.md)

## Why it matters

The analysis reinforces the policy momentum toward curbing EU imports of deforestation-linked commodities, a possible long-run bearish factor for palm oil and soy demand, though it is background research with no immediate price effect.
