New Podcast Episode: Deforestation Regulation Updates - What Agri-Supply Chains Need To Know

In this episode of The AIC Podcast, AIC Head of Policy and External Affairs Ed Barker and AIC Head of Animal Feed James McCulloch discuss the latest developments in UK and EU deforestation policy and what they mean for agricultural supply chains.

We cover:

  • The latest updates to the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and what businesses should know ahead of implementation.

  • What EUDR means for Northern Ireland, including regulatory oversight, supply chain challenges and the practical implications for importers and feed businesses.

  • The UK Government's plans for a Great Britain Forest Risk Commodity (GBFRC) regime and how it could differ from, or align with, EUDR requirements.

  • Key questions around compliance, due diligence, imports, enforcement, competitiveness and the treatment of products linked to forest-risk commodities.

  • How AIC is working with government, Northern Ireland authorities and industry partners to help shape policy and support Members as further details emerge.

This episode is ideal for feed businesses, commodity traders, importers, merchants, processors and others involved in agricultural supply chains who want to understand the latest regulatory developments on deforestation, trade and supply chain compliance.

This episode is ideal for feed material producers, processors, importers, storage operators, and businesses involved in the feed and wider agricultural supply chains who need clear, practical guidance on assurance, compliance, and feed safety.
