While production has surged, it has driven significant deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado. Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSSs) like RTRS and ProTerra aim to mitigate these impacts, but their adoption remains low, representing only 1.6% to 2.3% of global production as of 2021. The report finds that VSS compliance offers limited financial incentives for most farmers, with premiums often being minimal or non-existent, though organic soy commands significantly higher prices.
