Trade and Development Chart: Impact of the EU deforestation regulation
Global Food and Nutrition Security Bioeconomy

The Trade & Development Chart shows the extent to which the EU's deforestation regulation will apply to a country's exports as a share of total exports or GDP. The regulation will apply to cocoa, coffee, lumber, palm oil, rubber, and cattle, and it takes effect on Dec. 30, 2024. EU importers will have to certify that these commodities didn’t originate on land that was deforested or degraded after Dec. 31, 2020.
