# European organizations call for EUDR flexibility before 2027

> Five European feed, farm, poultry, dairy and meat organizations asked the European Commission to ease EUDR Regulation 1115 before its January 1, 2027 start. They warned of supply risks for animal feed inputs such as soybean meal and palm kernel pellets, citing summer drought and Black Sea trade disruption.

## Why it matters

If the EUDR is applied without changes, it could restrict EU soybean meal imports and tighten feed supply, which would support meal prices. A flexibility amendment would ease that risk, so the price effect depends on the Commission's response.
