Soybeans (Glycine max)
General Description
Soybeans are high-protein, oil-rich legumes cultivated globally and widely used in food, feed, and industrial applications. They are an essential agricultural commodity traded worldwide, prized for their versatility in producing soy protein products, soybean oil, soy flour, soy meal for animal feed, and various soy-based derivatives.
In international trade, soybeans are typically exported in bulk as whole, dried seeds and are valued for their nutritional content, processing efficiency, and compliance with international quality standards.
