This study analyses the practical implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) in the Brazilian-German soy supply chain. It provides an overview of central challenges perceived in the preparations for the EUDR, as well as emergent solutions and overarching implications for stakeholders navigating this new regulatory landscape. With this, the study aims to bridge the gap between the regulatory text and on-the-ground realities, offering insights for the private sector, governmental bodies, civil society, and other stakeholders.
