The EU’s deforestation regulation is scheduled to take effect at the end of 2026 and requires importers to show that covered products, including soy, are not linked to deforestation. Industry representatives say traceability requirements could put up to 4 million tons of Brazilian soybean meal exports at risk.
If shipments cannot meet the documentation requirements, less Brazilian meal may be available to EU buyers, potentially tightening supply and supporting meal prices.
After 172 past bullish policy events, Soybean Meal moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -1.5% to +1.7%), and -0.8% over 20.
