# Finance sector role flagged in French strategy to fight imported deforestation

> The French government released a draft National Strategy to Fight Imported Deforestation (SNDI) for public consultation, targeting palm oil, soy, rubber, beef, maize, cocoa and coffee with a 2030 horizon. The strategy recognises the financial sector's role and proposes both voluntary and mandatory measures.

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

## Why it matters

Stricter French import rules on deforestation-linked commodities could over time shift demand toward certified supplies for soy and palm products, though the draft has no immediate price effect.
