Europe: Soy Protein Industry Developments

✅ In September 2025, major European food retailers, including Tesco, Sainsbury's, Lidl, and Aldi, urged global grain traders to uphold Brazil's Soy Moratorium initiative. This long-standing agreement, which began in 2008, bans soybean purchases from land in the Amazon rainforest cleared after that date to curb deforestation. The retailers emphasized the importance of maintaining the agreement to prevent environmental degradation and ensure sustainable sourcing practices.

✅ In August 2025, researchers at University College Cork and University College Dublin in Ireland pioneered innovative methods to repurpose brewery wastewater into sustainable livestock feed. This approach aims to reduce Ireland's dependency on imported soy and fish oils, offering a domestically produced, nutritionally rich alternative for feeding livestock. The initiative promotes a circular bioeconomy and reduces agriculture's carbon footprint and reliance on imported resources.

✅ In July 2025, the European Union imposed a 25% tariff on U.S. corn imports in response to U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum. While U.S. soybeans were initially spared from tariffs, concerns remain about potential future trade restrictions. The EU's feed industry is closely monitoring these developments, as soymeal-an essential component in animal feed was not included in the tariff list, providing some relief to the sector.

✅ In June 2025, the European Parliament approved a one-year delay in the implementation of the EU's deforestation law, which aims to prevent products linked to deforestation, such as soy, from entering the EU market. The delay introduces uncertainty among companies and commodity producers, particularly small farmers who could be excluded from international markets. The law mandates companies importing certain agricultural products into the EU to trace supply chains and prove they don't contribute to deforestation.

✅ In May 2025, the European Union's new deforestation law, aimed at preventing the import of products linked to deforestation, was given final approval. The law requires companies importing certain agricultural products into the EU to trace supply chains and prove they don't contribute to deforestation. While the law has been praised for its role in combating climate change, it has also faced criticism for potentially being protectionist and excluding small-scale farmers from emerging markets.

✅ In April 2025, the European Union's Feed Manufacturers Federation (FEFAC) estimated that the direct extra cost for EU-compatible soy products for feed use in 2025 could range between €750 million and €1.5 billion. This increase in costs is attributed to the implementation of the EU's deforestation law, which requires stricter sourcing standards for imported soy. The higher costs are expected to impact the feed supply chain and may lead to increased prices for animal products.
