How ready is Brazil’s export base for the EUDR?

The EU Deforestation Regulation applies from 30 December 2026 — 149 days away. Trase publishes zero-deforestation commitment assessments for individual exporters. Nobody publishes the aggregate, so we do, recomputed from their data rather than written by hand.

Read this before quoting a number. “Not assessed” does not mean a company has no commitment — it means Trase has not assessed it. Saying “only 2% of soy exporters have a commitment” would be false. The defensible claim is about what is on record, which is why assessed and unassessed are separated everywhere below. The denominator is exporters present in Trase’s Brazil dataset, not every Brazilian exporter.

soy — 2,086 exporters

Trase has assessed 333 of them. Of those, 45 have a zero-deforestation commitment on record and 288 have none — meaning 86.5% of assessed soy exporters carry no commitment. The remaining 1,753 have no assessment either way.

Shown unnormalised. Beef carries Brazil-specific instruments (TAC, G4) that soy does not, and collapsing them would hide which mechanism a company actually signed up to.

beef — 542 exporters

Trase has assessed 434 of them. Of those, 24 have a zero-deforestation commitment on record and 410 have none — meaning 94.5% of assessed beef exporters carry no commitment. The remaining 108 have no assessment either way.

Method, and how to cite this

Counts are over Trase’s exporter tier only. Trase also publishes a parent-group tier; including it would count a subsidiary and its group twice. Figures recompute automatically from the data, so this page does not go stale between Trase releases.

A commitment on record is not compliance, and exposure is modelled association rather than observed clearing — see any exporter profile for the per-company detail, and what the EUDR requires for the obligation itself.
