The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) will extend to soybeans, requiring operators to confirm the origin of the raw material and show it does not come from deforested land. Krystian Ambroziak of the Polska Soja association says Polish farmers should not fear the new requirements, as the certification system is ready and formalities are limited to authorising the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARiMR).
Polish soybean area reached a record above 104,000 ha this year.
Traceability rules add compliance cost and documentation risk for soybean imports into the EU, which can tighten access for non-deforestation-certified supply and support premiums for clean-origin meal. For Polish domestic supply the impact is limited, so the price effect on feed markets is modest.
After 554 past neutral policy events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.6% over 20.
After 206 past neutral policy events, Soybean Meal moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -2.3% to +1.8%), and -0.7% over 20.
