# Non-deforestation regulation: European soy sector calls for easier implementation

> The European soy sector is asking for flexibility in applying the EU deforestation regulation (EUDR, Regulation 2023/1115), which takes effect on 30 December 2026. Industry players say the sanctions are too heavy and could disrupt the market. Large companies must comply from this year-end, while smaller operators have until June 2027.

## Why it matters

Compliance costs and traceability requirements could tighten EU imports of soybeans and soymeal, adding premiums and supply friction for feed buyers. Industry pressure for delays or simplification leaves the price effect uncertain.
