Germany's federal cabinet approved a draft law that sets out how the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) will be monitored and enforced domestically. The regulation covers timber, cocoa, coffee, rubber, palm oil, soy and cattle, and requires products to be deforestation-free.
Large and medium firms must comply from 30 December 2026, and micro and small firms from 30 June 2027.
Compliance rules for soy and palm oil imports into the EU add traceability costs and could shift sourcing toward verified supply chains. The near-term price effect is likely limited, since the rules are mainly administrative and enforcement is still being set up.
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.
