The Trade & Development Chart shows how the European Union's Regulation on Deforestation-free products (EUDR) is likely to affect low- and middle-income exporters of cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy, and wood. Under the regulation, any trader who places these commodities on the EU market must prove that they did not originate from recently deforested land or contribute to forest degradation and have been produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production. (The European Commission has proposed delaying implementation by one year, to Dec. 30, 2025.)
