NEWS 20 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE November 2025 The European Feed Manufacturers' Federation (FEFAC) sent a letter to the Danish EU Farm Council Presidency to share an urgent warning on the imminent risk of essential soy supply chain disruptions linked to the recent “targeted simplification” proposal on European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) of the European Commission. The letter includes a chart on soybean meal price developments over recent months, illustrating the market reactions on September 23, 2025 (following the announcement of ‘imminent’ EUDR postponement) and on October 20, 2025 (when the Commission released its current proposal) as well as FEFAC’s updated EUDR Economic Impact & Feed Supply Chain Disruption Risk Assessment for soybean meal. FEFAC President Pedro Cordero said, “European compound feed manufacturers once again face a ‘frozen’ soy market. Suppliers have withdrawn offers for 2026 deliveries; while remaining 2025 offers have become scarce and subject to sharp increases of respective EUDR price-premiums. Existing purchases of soy products for Q1–Q2 2026 are now clouded by legal uncertainty, as the commission’s proposed six-month postponement of checks and penalties by competent authorities, which may or may not see retroactive enforcement. FEFAC expects that this will translate into soy supply chain disruptions for key soy sourcing origins, ensuing additional cost impacts for the EU livestock sector of up to 1,5 Bio €, thereby strongly undermining the EU Vision on Agriculture & Food, which precisely seeks to boost the competitiveness of the EU livestock sector.” Read more>> ADM expanded its suite of SINCRO services to enhance the consistency and efficiency of farm animal production in Mexico, Indonesia and across Europe. SINCRO is a synchronized ecosystem of smart, data-driven solutions and services designed to support farmers and feed professionals with nutritional insight, feed formulation inputs and continuous monitoring with real-time adjustments for responsive operations management and improvement. Services are delivered by dedicated in-house teams with specialized knowledge across multiple fields, providing expert consulting to farmers and feed professionals, and are supported by digital solutions that can be deployed directly in the field, ADM highlights. For example, an integrator and egg producer in Mexico recently incorporated SINCRO services like near infrared (NIR) technology, mycotoxin analysis and formulation support with ADM feed solutions to improve eggshell quality, ultimately increasing marketable production by 10% and raising annual profits over $200,000. In Indonesia, a key producer of aqua feed is using SINCRO to significantly improve feed formulation performance and accuracy with precise nutritional values. Full year estimated sales for this producer reportedly grew over 60% compared to the previous year. "SINCRO offers a comprehensive, science-based, tailored approach to achieve precision nutrition for all species through the different life stages," said Pierre-Joseph Paoli, President of Growth & Commercial Excellence, ADM Animal Nutrition.
