The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) starts applying on December 30, 2026 for large and medium-sized operators, just as Paraguay's eastern region enters its soybean harvest. Every volume bound for Europe must show geolocated origin, production period, legality and absence of deforestation.
A certifier explained what Paraguayan producers still need to comply in time.
Traceability requirements could split Paraguayan soybean flows toward documented supply chains, adding compliance costs and possibly widening premiums for certified beans bound for Europe.
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.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
