## Why it matters

A delayed EUDR keeps due diligence requirements for soy, palm oil, cattle and other forest-risk commodities from biting on exporters for another year, reducing near-term compliance cost pressure on EU-bound supply chains. The effect on feed commodity prices is likely small and gradual.
