# EUDR Feed Sourcing Warning From EU Associations

> Five EU associations warned that EUDR enforcement from December 30, 2026, could disrupt feed sourcing and raise costs, with the added expense estimated at up to €1.4 billion. Their assessment projects a four- to five-million-tonne shortfall in direct soybean meal imports for the 2026/27 marketing year, while also citing summer drought and continued Black Sea trade disruption as pressures on EU feed supplies.

## Why it matters

Compliance premiums and a potential import gap could tighten EU protein-feed availability, raising soybean meal procurement costs and encouraging substitution toward rapeseed and sunflower meals. Increased demand for those alternatives could also lift their prices.
