# New European rules expand challenges in soybean traceability

> Brazilian soybean companies face increased difficulty proving the origin of beans after they are mixed during storage, transport and processing. The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is scheduled to apply from December 30, 2026, to medium and large operators, and from June 30, 2027, to most micro and small operators.

## Why it matters

Traceability and segregation requirements could raise compliance costs and constrain the volume of Brazilian soy eligible for EU buyers. That may tighten supplies of compliant soy and modestly support its price.
