# EU anti-deforestation law: European agri sector sees risk of soybean meal shortage

> Five European animal protein and feed sector bodies, including FEFAC, Copa-Cogeca, AVEC, EDA and UECBV, published an open letter on November 10, 2026. They asked the European Commission for an exceptional contingency plan for feed supply and simpler EUDR rules. The regulation's main obligations apply from December 30, 2026 to large and medium-sized operators.

## Why it matters

Compliance uncertainty for soy and other EUDR-covered inputs could constrain EU soybean meal imports and tighten feed supply. That would support EU soybean meal prices and raise feed costs for livestock and poultry producers.
