Quick summary: TraceX helps soy companies in Poland meet EUDR requirements with automated Due Diligence Statement (DDS) generation, farm-level traceability, and deforestation risk verification.
EUDR DDS for Soy Supply Chain in Poland requires operators to verify that all soy and soy-derived products imported or placed on the Polish market are deforestation-free, legally produced, and traceable to farm-level geolocation. Polish importers sourcing soy from Brazil, Argentina, or Paraguay must collect plot coordinates, legality documents, and supply-chain records to submit a compliant Due Diligence Statement (DDS) before market placement. As a major EU processor and feed manufacturer, Poland must ensure full supply-chain transparency, risk assessment, and documentation to meet the EUDR’s 2025 enforcement timeline and maintain EU-wide trade continuity.
lligence, and fully automated DDS workflows, TraceX transforms EUDR compliance from a regulatory burden into a competitive advantage. Polish soy importers, processors, and feed manufacturers can secure uninterrupted EU market access, strengthen ESG perf The EUDR Landscape for Soy & Poland
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is transforming how Poland’s soy supply chain must operate. As one of Europe’s largest importers and processors of soybeans for feed manufacturing, food ingredients, and oil extraction, Poland must now ensure that all soy entering or circulating within its market is legally produced, deforestation-free (no forest cleared after 31 December 2020), and fully traceable to the exact farm or plot of origin.
Soy is among the highest-risk commodities for deforestation, particularly in major producing regions such as Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. The EUDR explicitly covers soybeans and soy-derived products, making traceability and legality verification mandatory. For Poland where soy is a critical input for livestock feed, poultry, dairy, and food industries this means operators must prove legal sourcing, deforestation-free supply, and complete plot-level geolocation for every consignment.
Poland is a central hub in the EU’s soy value chain, with large volumes imported annually through ports like Gdańsk and Gdynia and processed by major feed mills, crushers, and food manufacturers. Under the EUDR, any Polish operator placing soy or soy-based products on the EU market must map their entire upstream supply chain, verify farm-level geolocation, confirm legal production, assess deforestation risk, and submit a compliant Due Diligence Statement (DDS).
Implementation Timelines
Under EUDR:
Polish soy importers, feed processors, and traders must begin integrating digital traceability, supplier verification, and risk assessment well ahead of these deadlines to avoid supply chain disruptions.
EUDR applies to soybeans and soy derivatives such as soy meal, soy oil, and feed formulations containing soy. Since Poland’s livestock and poultry industries rely heavily on soy protein, operators throughout these sectors fall within EUDR scope and must demonstrate compliant sourcing.
For Poland’s soy value chain, EUDR accelerates the shift toward digital traceability, supplier engagement, and sustainability-aligned sourcing. By meeting these requirements, Polish soy processors and feed manufacturers can reduce regulatory exposure, strengthen buyer confidence, and position themselves as leaders in deforestation-free, ESG-aligned supply chains.

Poland’s soy supply chain heavily integrated with the livestock, feed, and food-processing sectors faces substantial operational, logistical, and data-governance challenges under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Because the majority of soy consumed in Poland is imported from high-risk regions in South America, compliance requires transforming long-standing procurement and traceability practices. The major challenges include:
EUDR demands geolocation coordinates for every plot where soy is grown, including polygon boundaries for larger farms.
For Polish importers sourcing from Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, or Bolivia, this poses challenges such as:
This is one of the most significant compliance bottlenecks for the Polish soy industry.
Polish operators must verify that soy was not grown on land deforested after 31 December 2020.
Challenges include:
High-risk sourcing regions amplify the difficulty of delivering a robust DDS.
Poland relies heavily on multinational companies for imported soy and soymeal. This creates:
Polish operators must renegotiate relationships and data-sharing expectations.
EUDR requires collecting and validating large volumes of evidence, including:
Most Polish operators lack centralized, digital systems to manage this volume of documentation, leading to:
Polish companies must upload verified data into the EU’s TRACES-like central reporting platform.
Challenges include:
Ensuring EUDR compliance is resource-intensive:
For SMEs which form a large share of Polish agriculture-linked industries—costs can be prohibitive.
If upstream suppliers fail to meet EUDR requirements, Polish operators may face:
The poultry, pork, and dairy sectors which rely heavily on soy protein are particularly exposed.
Under EUDR, Polish operators are legally liable for incorrect DDS submissions. Penalties may include:
This significantly raises risk exposure for Polish importers and feed manufacturers.
Polish soy-industry operators face multi-layered challenges under EUDR—from acquiring farm-level data from high-risk regions to implementing advanced digital traceability and managing complex documentation workflows. Early adoption of digital compliance systems, supplier engagement programs, and risk-monitoring tools is crucial for ensuring uninterrupted access to the EU market.
As Poland strengthens its role as a major EU hub for soymeal imports, feed manufacturing, and livestock production, meeting the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requirements has become mission-critical. Polish soy importers, crushers, feed mills, and traders must ensure every shipment of soybeans, meal, or oil is deforestation-free, legally sourced, and fully traceable to the farm or plot of origin. TraceX’s digital EUDR Compliance Platform offers an integrated, AI- and blockchain-powered solution that enables Polish soy-industry operators to automate Due Diligence Statement (DDS) generation, digitize supplier onboarding, and achieve seamless compliance ahead of the 2025–2026 enforcement deadlines.
TraceX streamlines DDS generation by automatically consolidating farm geolocation, legality documents, supplier declarations, and traceability records into a unified digital file. With direct integration into the EU’s reporting portal, Polish importers and processors can generate submission-ready DDS reports in minutes minimizing manual work, reducing documentation errors, and ensuring rapid audit readiness for soy shipments entering or circulating within the EU market.
Every soy batch imported through major Polish ports such as Gdańsk, Gdynia, or Szczecin is assigned a blockchain-secured digital ID. This creates a tamper-proof chain of custody from producing farms in Brazil, Argentina, or Paraguay through traders, crushing facilities, and feed mills in Poland. This immutable ledger enhances compliance transparency and strengthens trust with EU buyers, retailers, and regulators demanding deforestation-free soy.
TraceX’s mobile-enabled onboarding tools allow global suppliers and cooperatives to register plantations, upload documentation, and capture precise GPS coordinates. For Polish companies dependent on foreign intermediaries or high-risk sourcing regions, this ensures full inclusion of upstream suppliers even smallholders into a compliant, geo-verified traceability network. This is especially critical for Poland’s livestock-intensive regions where soymeal demand is high.
The platform’s AI-driven dashboards provide Polish soy operators with real-time visibility into deforestation risks, land-use alerts, supplier risk scoring, and compliance gaps. By identifying high-risk sources early, Polish feed manufacturers and traders can take timely mitigation steps, prepare for audits, and ensure only verified, low-risk soy enters EU supply chains. Predictive analytics also help companies adapt to evolving EUDR risk classifications and enforcement changes.
A Polish feed manufacturer sourcing soymeal from Brazil and Paraguay can use TraceX to digitally onboard suppliers, validate land-use legality, capture plantation geolocation, and automatically generate compliant DDS for each import batch. Within weeks, the company can achieve end-to-end traceability, reduce manual compliance work by up to 70%, and guarantee deforestation-free assurance for all EU-facing operations.
With blockchain integrity, AI-powered risk inte ormance, and position themselves as leaders in responsible, deforestation-free agri-trade.
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) carries significant implications for Poland’s soy-driven food and feed ecosystem, reshaping sourcing models, compliance expectations, and long-term competitiveness. Poland is one of the EU’s largest consumers of soymeal for livestock, poultry, and dairy production, with the feed industry highly dependent on imported soybeans and soy derivatives from South America. As EUDR mandates deforestation-free, legally sourced, and fully traceable soy, Polish operators must reconfigure their supply chains at every level from importers and crushers to feed mills, food processors, and livestock producers.
The EUDR requires Polish companies to demonstrate full plot-level traceability for every shipment of soy. This pushes feed manufacturers, traders, and food-processing companies to adopt digital systems capable of managing geolocation data, legality records, and supplier declarations—something previously uncommon in the soy feed supply chain.
Compliance demands significant investments in technology, supplier mapping, and risk assessment workflows. For companies reliant on large volumes of soymeal imports, manual systems are no longer viable. Digital traceability platforms become essential to avoid operational slowdowns, delays at customs, or non-compliance penalties.
Polish importers may need to shift away from high-risk suppliers or regions unable to provide geolocation or legality evidence. This could lead to consolidation of supplier networks, prioritizing exporters in Brazil, Argentina, or Paraguay who implement EUDR-aligned documentation and traceability systems.
As global soy exporters adapt to EUDR, limited compliant supply could increase the cost of deforestation-free soy. Polish feed manufacturers—already facing pressure from livestock producers—may see adjustments in raw-material pricing and availability until the market stabilizes.
Compliance is also an opportunity. Polish food and feed companies that adopt EUDR standards early will strengthen their credibility with retailers, EU buyers, and international partners. With rising ESG expectations, deforestation-free assurance becomes a competitive differentiator, especially for companies engaged in exports.
EUDR compliance supports Poland’s broader sustainability agenda, including biodiversity protection, climate neutrality, and responsible consumption. The soy sector plays a crucial role in this transformation, influencing environmental stewardship across agriculture, livestock, and food production.
EUDR is not just a regulatory requirement it reshapes the foundations of how soy enters and moves through Poland’s food and feed economy. Companies that digitize early, engage suppliers proactively, and embrace transparent sourcing will be best positioned to thrive in the new compliance-driven landscape.
EUDR DDS implementation marks a pivotal shift for Poland’s soy, food, and feed sectors, demanding full traceability, legality verification, and deforestation-free sourcing. By adopting digital due diligence systems, Polish importers, crushers, and feed manufacturers can streamline compliance, reduce operational risk, and secure uninterrupted access to the EU market. Beyond regulatory adherence, a robust DDS framework enables Poland to build a more transparent, resilient, and globally competitive soy supply chain one that aligns with EU sustainability goals and strengthens trust with customers, regulators, and downstream industries.

The EUDR is a regulation by the European Union aimed at preventing deforestation-linked commodities like soy from entering the EU market. It requires full supply chain traceability and submission of Due Diligence Statements (DDS) proving compliance.
A DDS is a formal declaration confirming that soy imported or sold in Poland is deforestation-free and legally sourced. It must include farm-level geolocation data and risk assessment documentation.
All Polish importers, traders, processors and retailers handling soy are required to comply. Both large corporations and small operators must provide DDS documentation for their supply chains.
Common difficulties include gathering farm-level data, verifying deforestation-free claims, managing multiple smallholders, and preparing DDS documents manually.
TraceX digitizes the entire process mapping soy farms, verifying deforestation risks via satellite data, and auto-generating compliant DDS reports ready for submission.
