The voluntary Soja-Moratorium, established in 2006 between soy traders, NGOs, and the Brazilian government to halt Amazon rainforest destruction, is facing collapse due to major companies withdrawing. This agreement prevented the trade and financing of soy grown on land deforested after 2008, leading to a 69 percent reduction in soy-related deforestation despite a quadrupling of cultivation areas. However, producer associations like Aprosoja argue the moratorium unfairly penalized legal producers. A new law in Mato Grosso, a key soy-producing state, threatens tax benefits for companies adhering to the moratorium. ABIOVE, representing major traders, has announced its withdrawal, signaling a potential increase in soy from recently cleared rainforest entering the EU, where it is primarily used as animal feed. This development occurs as Brazil aims to stop deforestation by 2030 and amid ongoing EU-Mercosur trade agreement discussions.
