Soybean is a leguminous vegetable crop grown in tropical and subtropical climates. It is one of the most valuable crops in the world, not only as an oil seed crop and feed for livestock and aquaculture but also as a good source of protein in the human diet and as a biofuel. Soybean contains 20% oil, 36% proteins, 30% carbohydrates and significant quantities of dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Due to the development of new improved varieties, fertilizers, and mechanized planting, mono-crop soybean cultivation has been spreading all over the world.
Approximately 75% of the consumption of soybean is seen as animal feed and the growing demand for animal feed is driving the market growth. Other factors stimulating the market growth are high demand for soybean oil and increasing public awareness about the health benefits of soybean consumption.
The global soybean production has expanded more than 10 fold between 1960 and 2010 and is expected to grow further during 2016-2021. 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% of the global production. For many years, the United States was the world’s major producer and exporter of soybean. However, in the recent years, the soybean production has increased dramatically in Brazil and Argentina.
China is the largest importer of soybeans (XX% of total imports), followed by the European Union, Mexico, Japan and Taiwan. By 2021, China’s import volume is expected to reach 110 million tons. In 2015, China alone accounted for nearly 35% of the exports from the United States, 48.6% from Brazil and 11.25% from Argentina (by volume).
It is forecasted that the Asian soybean imports will increase during 2016-2021 due to the lower domestic production and the growing demand for protein meal and vegetable oil.
