The EU Deforestation Regulation is set to apply to large and medium-sized operators from 30 December 2026. Covered products, including soy, palm oil and cattle, must be traceable to compliant plots and supported by due-diligence statements before entering the EU market.
Traceability and compliance requirements could add costs or restrict market access for non-compliant supply, potentially tightening availability of covered commodities in the EU. The price effect is uncertain and likely limited across broader feed markets.
After 554 past neutral policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.6% over 20.
After 513 past neutral policy events, Palm Oil moved a median 0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.6% to +1.4%), and -0.1% over 20.
