The soybean or soya bean is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean, which has numerous uses. Traditional unfermented food uses of soybeans include soy milk, from which tofu and tofu skin are made. It is widely grown for its edible bean, which has numerous uses.

Traditional unfermented food uses of soybeans include soy milk, from which tofu and tofu skin are made. Fermented soy foods include soy sauce, fermented bean paste, nattō, and tempeh. Fat-free soybean meal is a significant and cheap source of protein for animal feeds and many packaged meals.

For example, soybean products, such as textured vegetable protein, are ingredients in many types of meat and dairy substitutes.

Soybeans contain significant amounts of phytic acid, dietary minerals, and B vitamins. Soy vegetable oil, used in food and industrial applications, is another product of processing the soybean crop. Soybean is the most important protein source for feeding farm animals in turn yields animal protein for human consumption.

The soybean is economically the most important bean in the world, providing vegetable protein for millions of people and ingredients for hundreds of chemical products.

The soybean market is projected to register a CAGR of 3.5 percent during the forecast period of 2021 to 2026. The supply chain disruptions due to the trade restrictions have impacted the market for soybean during the COVID 19 pandemic.

These factors have reduced the production of soybean by-products like a meal, oil, cake, etc which has been reflected in the market for soybean as well.

The United States, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, Paraguay, and Uruguay are the largest producers and exporters of soybean in the world, accounting for more than 85.0 percent of the global production. For many years, the United States was the world’s major producer and exporter of soybean.

However, in 2019, soybean production has increased dramatically in Brazil surpassing Brazil's normal soybean production. The increased production of Soybean can be attributed to the favorable growing conditions augmented by the soil quality, weather conditions, and water availability. The market for soybean is driven by the increasing adoption of veganism in western countries owing to the popularity of plant-rich proteins in the diet. The increased health awareness among consumers due to the higher standard of living has also impacted the market affirmatively.

Top Soy Beans Producing Countries

 

USA: Produces an average of 108.0 Million Metric Tons annually. In the US, soybeans are the dominant oilseed, and account for 90 percent of the nation’s oilseed production, according to USDA. That is an agricultural commodity class that also includes canola or rapeseed, sunflower, and flax seeds, as all of these are produced into vegetable oils. The US accounts for 34 percent of the world’s soybean production.

At 42 percent market share, it’s also the largest exporter of raw soybeans according to Commodity Basis. There are around 34.4 million hectares devoted to the planting of soybeans in the US. Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are the states with the largest soybean plantations in average size. Meanwhile, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, and Nebraska were the states producing the largest soybean yields. Unlike other soybean-producing countries, prices in the US are more significantly determined by increased bio-diesel demand, where soy oil is used to fuel combustion engines.

 

Annual production of soybeans in the three seasons leading up to 2014 to 2015 has ranged between 82.8 and 108 million metric tons. Planting of soybeans in much of the US starts in May or early June, and harvesting commences in late September to October.

Brazil: The Latin American nation produces an average of 86.8 Million Metric Tons of Soybeans annually. As the second-largest producer of soybeans worldwide, Brazil accounts for 30 percent of the global production of the crop. The country has over 29 million hectares of land available and used for farming soybean. In the 4 most recent growing seasons to 2014 to 2015, soybean production has been on a steady rise, according to USDA.

Annual production quantities in that time span have ranged from 66.5 to 94.5 million metric tons. In 2013, soybean exports earned the country 23 billion dollars according to MIT data. Soybeans grown in Brazil have higher protein levels than those grown in many other parts of the world, and thereby fetch higher prices in international markets, according to Commodity Basis. The country also produces a large quantity of non-genetically modified soybeans, which are also pricier than genetically modified ones.

 

Argentina produces an average of 53.4 Million Metric Tons annually. Argentina has farmlands of over 20.3 million hectares dedicated to growing soybeans. Buenos Aires, Cordoba, and Santa Fe are the states where soybeans are grown in the largest quantity according to Commodity Basis. The country accounts for 18 percent of the world’s soybean production.

There are about 14,000 soybean producers in Bolivia. Depending on the agronomic practices applied and the soil and weather conditions, yields per hectare may range between 1.8 and 2.3 metric tons. In 2014, according to FAOSTAT, the country produced 3.2 million metric tons of soybeans. But, in 2015, according to the USDA, Bolivian soya production had dropped to 3.1 million metric tons. This was due to a drought that affected 12 percent of the 1 million hectares in the production region. In 2013, soybean was the number 3 export for Bolivia, earning the country 620 million dollars, according to MIT data.

With 3.9 Million Metric Tons, Ukraine is the largest producer of soybeans in Europe and the 8th largest in the world. Half of the soybeans produced in Ukraine are exported. Annual production has steadily been on the rise in recent years. During the 2014 to 2015 season, the country produced 3.9 million metric tons, an increase from the 2013 to 2014 season, when production was 2.774 million metric tons, according to Commodity Basis. Soybean plantations in Ukraine have also increased in recent years, due to a rise in export demands for the oilseed. In the year 2000, Ukrainian soybeans were cultivated on 65,000 hectares, but by 2015 that figure had reached about 2.1 million hectares, according to Ukraine Soybean Congress.
