Defra published a consultation on new due diligence rules for businesses using commodities linked to global deforestation in Great Britain. The proposals would update the existing GB timber regime and bring in regulations for forest risk commodities: cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber and soy.
The EU Deforestation Regulation will apply in Northern Ireland from 30 December 2026.
Separate GB rules would add a second compliance layer for soy, palm oil and cattle products sold in Britain, which could raise traceability costs for importers. Any price effect is likely small and remains subject to consultation and the parliamentary process.
