U.S. Soy:
Delivering superior oil value.
With oil prices and crush margins where they are, buyers, crushers and refiners must evaluate soybeans on the quality of the oil. Knowing a soybean’s oil value can help U.S. Soy customers better evaluate their beans and market their oil.
U.S. soybean oil has the highest refining rate, which reduces input costs for refiners. Add it up, and U.S. Soy delivers superior value. You can see this value in real-time by using the Soybean Oil Value Calculator to analyze refining yield, cost and revenue potential for soybeans of different origins.
A Recent Study Found That Compared To Other Origins, U.S. Soybeans
- Produced high-quality crude soybean oil
- Had lower damage rates on arrival
- Had the lowest refining cost
- Were more consistent
The “Processing Characteristics of Soybeans from Different Countries” study found soybean oil produced from U.S. soybeans scored systematically higher than soybean oil from other origins.
U.S. Soy Crop Quality Report 2023
How did U.S. Soy quality measure up in 2023? Despite weather conditions, U.S. Soy farmers delivered a high quality, and sustainably produced crop. Explore the U.S. Soy Crop Quality Report 2023 including a look at amino acid profiles and soluble sugars.
Summary:
- A severe and chronic drought affected soybean production across most of the major U.S. soybean producing States in 2023.
- Despite exceedingly challenging production environments, U.S. Soy farmers are estimated to produce a crop averaging 3.3 MT per ha. (~50 bushels per acre).
- Average composition of the crop is very similar to 2022.
- One could consider this an ‘Oil Year.’
- Weather conditions resulted in beans being drier than usual, leading to increased protein and oil yields per ton.
