EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) - What It Means for the UK Agri‑Supply Chain - Part 2

In this second part of this two‑part episode, Ed Barker, AIC Head of Policy and External Affairs, and James McCulloch, AIC Head of Feed, move beyond the global context and focus on what the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) means in practice for the UK supply chain.The conversation explores the UK’s developing approach to deforestation‑free regulation, how it aligns with or diverges from the EU’s EUDR framework, and the unique position of Northern Ireland, which remains directly in scope.Ed and James unpack current policy signals, expected timelines, and the practical realities businesses need to prepare for, including traceability requirements, due diligence obligations, and evolving customer expectations across retail, processing, and feed manufacturing.Ideal for listeners seeking clear, practical guidance on navigating EUDR requirements, this discussion helps build understanding of the UK’s emerging deforestation‑free rules and what feed and agri‑supply businesses should be preparing for next.
