South Asia

In South Asia, soybean demand is strong, as the crushing industry has grown in recent years, creating some of the world’s largest whole soybean importers. Countries in this region have a growing need for quality protein for both soy foods and animal feed.

Tremendous Potential

Together, demographics, urbanization, resource scarcity and economic growth make South Asia ripe for U.S. Soy investment.  

Soy in India

India alone is home to one of the world’s largest compound animal feed industries and boasts the largest cattle herd. Thanks to a younger demographic of consumers, the demand for soy in India is further driven by a rapidly accelerating poultry industry.
