# WWF report shows scale of commodities affecting nature

> WWF released a report finding that UK demand for eight commodities, including soy used for livestock feed, palm oil, and coffee, relies on an average of 19.3 million hectares overseas. About 8.13 million hectares sit in countries rated high or very high risk for habitat destruction and rights abuses.

## Why it matters

Deforestation and traceability scrutiny on soy and palm oil imports to the UK could raise compliance costs over time, but the report has no immediate price impact.
