Organic soybean in the form of animal feed flour is an excellent business opportunity. Imports are increasing thanks to the growing demand for organic food by consumers. The good prospects for this season’s harvest guarantee good prices for importers.
Feeding farm animals with organic soybean flour has driven demand for this oilseed, which is scarce in production in Europe. Although its cultivation in Spain is limited, soybean is available in large quantities and at low prices in the global market. Additionally, current conditions allow the buyer to have enormous price negotiation capacity when acquiring large volumes of top-quality soybean.
The growing demand for organic soybean is an excellent business opportunity for importers
The nutritional properties of organic soybean make it the ideal food for farm animals, which thus produce more meat, eggs, and milk quickly and economically. Livestock farmers looking to make their organic food production profitable view this alternative favorably.
Organic livestock fattening has specific requirements regarding the amount of essential amino acids they must ingest, requirements that organic soybean meets like no other product due to its high nutritional richness. This makes it an ingredient of great importance for livestock fattening, as well as for egg and milk production.
The soybean cultivation area in the EU is very limited compared to the demand for organic food. The main producers are China and India (in Asia) and the US, Brazil, and Argentina (in America), where the good prospects for the 2015/2016 campaign forecast a new historical production record. It is expected to reach 320 million tons. Undoubtedly, a good harvest will have a positive impact on prices for importers.
During the 2014/2015 campaign, Spain imported 7.1 million tons of oilseeds, of which a large part was soybean, and the trend continues to rise. Soybean imports, far from stabilizing or decreasing, are constantly and progressively increasing. According to the latest data collected, they have grown by 4% in the last five years.
