Indonesia, Malaysia, EU Work on Guide for Smallholders on EU Deforestation Rules

PALM OIL - JAKARTA. Indonesia, Malaysia and the European Union will formulate a practical guide to EU deforestation rules (EUDR) for smallholders by November, an intergovernmental group representing palm oil producers said on Friday.

The European Commission earlier this month proposed delaying implementation of the EUDR, which will ban imports of commodities linked to deforestation, following calls from industries and governments around the world.
