Soybean: The 'Golden Bean' of Global Trade

Soybean is a type of legume and the fifth major crop produced globally. It is native to East Asia, and cultivated for both human consumption as food and animal feed. In fact, processed soybeans are the second-largest source of edible fat, contributing around 25% to global edible fat production, and the largest source of high-protein animal feed in the world. This staple crop is valued worldwide for its rich protein and oil content. About 85% of soybeans are processed each year into soybean meal and oil. Of this, around 95% of the oil is used for edible purposes, while the remaining goes into industrial products such as fatty acids, soaps, and biodiesel. Its rich history dates back to 7000 BCE when it was domesticated in China. It became an important crop during the Zhou dynasty (c. 1046-256 BC), and was eventually introduced to other parts of the world. It entered the U.S. market for the first time in the 19th century and soon became a valuable source of protein and oil, especially in the 20th century. Today, it is one of the most sought-after commodities for soybean buyers and importers across the globe. 



Why Soybeans Are a Strategic Export Crop

Soybeans remain consistently in high demand, majorly due to their nutritional value (particularly as a source of plant-based protein) and versatility. Besides, they offer strategic export advantages because of their dual marketability (both as oil and protein), low perishability (compared to fruits or vegetables), and easy storage and transport (when properly dried and packaged). Also, soybeans are fit for rotation farming, especially when grown with grains, corn, or pulses. 

Soybeans are processed into a wide range of products such as tofu, soy milk, and soy-based meat alternatives (popular among vegans and vegetarians). Soymeal, a byproduct of soybean oil extraction, is also a primary protein source for livestock. In addition, soybeans are used to produce a renewable fuel known as biodiesel. This biodiesel is more sustainable than petroleum-based alternatives, as it generates fewer air pollutants. Furthermore, soybean oil is chemically similar to petroleum, which makes it a better substitute for common products like tires, flooring materials, and more. All these factors are responsible for its growing trade across borders.
