FEFAC warns that drought, Black Sea trade disruption, and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) are creating risks of a 5 million tonne soybean meal supply gap for the 2026-27 year, increasing feed costs by around €1.4 billion and pushing up EU livestock production costs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your EU feed supply costs just jumped sharply due to new deforestation rules and trade bottlenecks. If your business relies on soybean meal or livestock feed, investigate sourcing changes and factor in rising production costs immediately.
