# Impact of EU deforestation regulations on commodity supply > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/impact-of-eu-deforestation-regulations-on-commodity-supply > Updated: 2026-09-02T21:24:15.000Z. Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Research indicates that the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is poised to significantly influence global commodity supply chains, particularly for coffee and cocoa. Because companies supplying the EU manage nearly 80% of worldwide coffee shipments, they may adopt EUDR traceability and deforestation-free standards across their entire global operations to avoid the costs of maintaining separate systems for different markets. In the coffee sector, market concentration is high, with the top ten trading companies controlling 35% of global exports. Major players like JDE Peet’s, Louis Dreyfus, and Neumann Gruppe face high exposure to these regulations due to their significant export volumes to the EU. In the cocoa sector, Brazilian production is adapting to meet these sustainability demands. In regions such as Pará, approximately 80% of cocoa is grown on land deforested before 1998, which may facilitate compliance through land recovery and carbon sequestration efforts. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: EU deforestation rules to impact global coffee and cocoa supply chains New EU deforestation regulations (EUDR) are driving global traceability in coffee and cocoa, with Brazilian producers positioning themselves to meet strict sustainability standards for export. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/eu-deforestation-rules-to-impact-global-coffee-and-cocoa-supply-chains ### 2026-09-01: Coffee traders control 35% of global exports amid EU regulation shifts Research shows ten traders control 35% of global coffee exports.
