On December 19 the EU formalized a new EUDR delay: large and medium companies until 30/12/2026, micro and small until 30/06/2027. What changes, what does not, and what to do now.

The Food Tech published its 2026 food safety map: traceability, AI, transparency and resilience. The four converge on an uncomfortable conclusion: the time to speculate is over.

The U.S. quadrupled the tariff-rate quota for Argentine beef. To capture the wave, especially with grass-fed, digital traceability is the passport to the world's most demanding market.

Traceability has shifted from logistics requirement to a pillar of consumer trust. Meeting FSMA 204 and EUDR without turning that data into a relationship with the buyer means losing half the value.

The FDA delays FSMA 204 to 2028, but retailers already demand traceability and the EUDR arrives in December 2025. What looks like a regulatory pause is a strategic window to invest.

For Latin American producers and exporters, digitalization is no longer optional. FSMA 204, EUDR and global retailers are redefining the requirements for market access.
