Overview of Soybean Trade and Its Global Relevance

Soybeans (Glycine max) are a legume native to East Asia but have become one of the most widely cultivated and traded crops in the world. Today, they represent a pillar of global agriculture due to their versatility and rich nutrient profile.
Soybeans are primarily used in:

• Food processing (soy milk, tofu, soy flour, soy sauce, textured vegetable protein)
• Oil production (refined soybean oil for cooking, industrial and biodiesel uses)
• Animal feed (soybean meal as high-protein feed for poultry, cattle, pigs, aquaculture)
• Industrial applications (adhesives, inks, plastics, textiles, bio-based fuels)

As demand for plant-based proteins, sustainable oils, and clean-label foods rises globally, soybeans are set to remain a cornerstone commodity across continents.
