# European agribusiness calls for easing EUDR rules before 2027

> FEFAC, COPA-COGECA, AVEC, EDA and UECBV asked the European Commission to ease the EU Deforestation Regulation before its January 1, 2027 start. The groups warned that compliance could disrupt supplies of feed inputs such as soybean meal and palm-derived pellets for 2026/27. They also requested a contingency plan for forage supply after a summer drought.

## Why it matters

Stricter traceability could curb EU imports of soybean meal and palm-based feed ingredients, tightening EU feed supply and supporting prices for substitute proteins. Summer drought and Black Sea disruptions already raise EU reliance on imported feed, so the lobbying adds upside pressure on feed costs.
