In 2024, Ukrainian soybean exporters will be required to provide traceability certificates to the European Union, as part of the EU's new legislation combating deforestation. This legislation imposes strict traceability requirements on each batch of imported soybeans, with fields where the soybeans are grown prohibited from deforestation. The Danube Soy association is also launching a project to compensate 15% of the cost of purchased original seeds for small farmers. The association is also planning measures to build domestic soybean supply chains to the EU, and is considering supporting small farmers who grow soybeans in Ukraine.
