# EU rule requires Brazilian soybeans to prove the origin of every volume

> Under the EU Deforestation Regulation, Brazilian soybeans sold into the EU must be traceable to their farms of origin and shown to be deforestation-free by December 30, 2026. Industry representatives say compliance requires tracking volumes through transport, storage and processing, not just identifying farms.
