> Five European organizations asked the European Commission on November 10 for emergency measures and simplification of the EU deforestation regulation. They cited FEFAC's fourth risk assessment, which estimates a shortfall of at least nearly 5 million metric tons of soybean meal in the 2026/27 marketing year. The regulation's obligations for large and medium-sized operators start December 30.
