# New European rules against deforestation: what does this mean for Belgium?

> The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires companies placing soy, palm oil, coffee, cocoa, cattle, rubber, wood and related products on the European market to show their goods are not from land deforested after a set cutoff date and were produced legally. Belgian Federal Public Service Public Health has published guidance for Belgian importers, processors and traders on the obligations.

## Why it matters

Traders serving the EU must trace supply chains, which adds compliance cost and may slow or reroute certain imports of soy and palm oil. The effect on feed-relevant prices is likely gradual and modest.
