If France wants to make this meaningful, it also has to stop importing Brazilian beef. Soy is mainly used to feed cattle, so just banning soy imports sounds like a political move without real will to me.

If they wanted to make it meaningful they would pull out of their parasitic trade agreements with all the African countries that are still de facto colonized by them.
