09 Sep 2024 --- Renewed calls for the forthcoming EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) to be postponed are being voiced this week as palm oil stakeholders from Indonesia and Malaysia meet with counterparts in Brussels and Rotterdam for a series of discussions and events on sustainable vegetable oils. Hailed as a vital turning point in the global fight against deforestation, the EUDR, which entered into force in June 2023, is due to apply from December 2024. Following this 18-month transition, palm oil, coffee, cocoa and soy businesses will have to prove their products are not linked in any way to deforestation.
