It highlights compliance challenges faced by developing economies, particularly those dependent on agricultural exports with fragmented value chains and limited digital infrastructure. A dual-track approach outlines actions for national governments exporting regulated commodities to the EU and for development partners supporting those efforts, grounded in diagnostics, case studies, and a proposed policy framework.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nDUE DILIGENCE  \nIN SUPPLY CHAINS:  \nTHE CASE OF THE EUDR  \nOctober 2025  \nTRADE, INVESTMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS  \nTRADE, INVESTMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS  \nE, INVESTMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS  \nMPETITIVENESS   TRADE, INVESTMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS | TRADE, INVESTMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS | MACROECONO  \nINVE TMENT AND MPET TCO I IVEN SSRADE INV TRTMENTDAND, M PETIT IVE NESVESTMENT AND| COMP TITIRADE, INV MENT VND C MPETITIVENESSESS   \nMACROECONO  \nTRADE, INVESTMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS  \nTRADE, INVESTMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS  \nM PETIT IVE NESS  \nShane Sela, Melvin Spreij and Iryna Sikora  \nProsperity Notes Series  \nMACROECONO  \nTRADE, INVESTMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS  \nTRADE, INVESTMENT AND COMPETITIVENESS  \nM PETIT IVE NESS  \nDUE DILIGENCE  \nIN SUPPLY CHAINS:  \nTHE CASE OF THE EUDR  \nOctober 2025  \nShane Sela, Melvin Spreij and Iryna Sikora  \n© 2025 International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank 1818 H Street NW  \nWashington DC 20433 Telephone: 202-473-1000  \n[Internet: ](Internet: www.worldbank.org)[www.worldbank.org](Internet: www.worldbank.org)   \nThis work is a product of the staff of The World Bank with external contributions.
