Brazil exported just under 22900 cubic metres of biodiesel in September, almost triple the August volume and double the 11300 m³ shipped in September 2025, according to MDIC data cited by BiodieselBR — the biggest monthly volume in 15 months. With shipments topping 100000 m³ in the year to date, Brazil is on the verge of an annual export record.

At the IPOC 2026 press conference in Jakarta on October 9, GAPKI chairman Eddy Martono said Indonesian palm companies are practically ready for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), with geolocation and licensing in place. The biggest challenge sits with smallholders, who still face land legality problems. EUDR requires sharing geolocation data of plantations, while Indonesian regulations bar such data from being disclosed publicly. Eddy, just back from Amsterdam meetings with the Indonesian embassy and EU importers, said European buyers also worry about EUDR implementation and want a win-win solution, since they depend on Indonesian palm oil. Indonesia has proposed a memorandum of understanding with the EU, and the IEU-CEPA trade deal — planned for 2027 — would grant zero-tariff access for 1 million tonnes of palm oil to the EU. GAPKI secretary general Hadi Sugeng warned that 2027 exports may fall to only 26.5 million tonnes (output of 56.6Mt under El Niño vs ~60Mt potential, with full-year B50 absorbing ~17.4Mt and domestic use at ~30Mt), risking Indonesia's trade balance.

Argentina's soybean biodiesel exports to the EU nearly quadrupled in about three months, rising from 50,000 tonnes in the first half of 2026 to around 220,000-230,000 tonnes across reports, after the European Parliament on July 8 rejected a European Commission proposal to amend Regulation 2019/807 that would have classified soy as a high ILUC (indirect land use change) risk feedstock. EU-bound shipments had frozen from March as importers avoided regulatory risk; a coordinated effort by industry body Ciara-CEC, Argentina's foreign ministry and its EU embassy secured the Parliament's rejection, which importers took as clearance to resume buying. Ciara-CEC president Gustavo Idigoras projects full-year shipments to the EU could exceed 300,000 tonnes; the EU is Argentina's only biodiesel export market. Idigoras also noted that Black Sea-related diesel price rises made Argentine soy biodiesel more competitive in Europe. The regulatory debate is not over: the Commission must redraft the Regulation 2019/807 amendment.
