Brazil fears EU deforestation rules will cost soymeal sales as Argentina moves to fill the gap

FEFAC warns that up to 4 million tonnes of Brazil's soymeal exports could be shut out when the EU deforestation rules take effect on 30 December. Argentina is moving to capture the potential gap in EU soymeal supply.

WHY IT MATTERS

If Brazilian soymeal is excluded from the EU, Argentine supply would likely fill the gap, shifting trade flows and putting downward pressure on Brazilian soymeal prices while supporting Argentine exports.
