Further increase of responsibly produced soy use in Europe

On 1 July 2025, the new European Soy Monitor was released, covering data of the years 2022 and 2023. It shows that 54% of soya purchases in the EU27+ are in line with responsible soy schemes and programmes that have been benchmarked against the FEFAC Soy Sourcing Guidelines. Estimates from 2019 pointed to 42%. The new data also concerns the FEFAC Soy Sourcing Guidelines 2021, which included an update that provides room to consider responsible soy purchases to also be in line with deforestation- and conversion free soy production.

The European Soy Monitor 2022/2023 is co-published with Donau Soja, FEDIOL, IDH, IUCN NL, ProTerra Foundation and Round Table on Responsible Soy Association (RTRS).
