Soy Producers

Unearth soybean manufacturers for all your environmentally-friendly organic needs

Because soy is easily marketable and grown, soy producers have grabbed hold of the recent movement toward more environmentally-friendly foods and durable goods. One of the most versatile seeds, soy can feed humans and animals, and it can be added to paints and inks as well as used in synthetic diesel fuel.

As the world's largest producer of soy, the United States helps distribute millions of soybeans both domestically and internationally. With so many soybeans to distribute, it may be difficult to weed through all the soybean manufacturer options. Finding that perfect fit when looking for soy producers can be accomplished once you:

1. Search out a soy food distributor for your cuisine.

2. Choose a soybean manufacturer to cater to the inedible goods market.

3. Strengthen relationships between your business and the soy producer.

 

Dive into the world of a soy food distributor

Amazingly, only a small percentage of soybeans are used for consumption. Nearly all of the food made from soybeans comes from the processed oils from the legumes. In addition to food for humans, animals benefit from soybean production in the form of soybean meal.
Try: To find a local soy distributor or manufacturer, check out the U.S. Soyfoods Directory created by Physicians Laboratories. You can also use the search function to find the soy manufacturer who produces a favorite type of soy food, such as soy grits, soy pizza and tofu products. With a stronger flavor than regular white flour or even whole-wheat flour, Paul's Grains, a soy flour producer in Iowa, recommends using its soy flour in smaller batches.

Tap into the soy distributor market by looking into inedible goods

Soybeans aren't only for eating; they can be used for inedible, durable goods. Whether it's illuminating candles, paint-removing chemicals or even a diesel fuel additive, soybeans have a role in producing all these items. This is just a small list of all soybeans have to offer.
Try: SoyWorld compiled a lengthy list of soy producers who use the legume for items other than food. Light up your establishment with five different scented soy candles by Nohm Candles. Their pesticide-free soy wax candles come packaged in reusable six-ounce containers that are free of any excess packaging. For industrial-size cleaning, Franmar Chemical Inc. is a soy manufacturer that sells paint remover. The cleaner can safely be used in large facilities such as hospitals, schools or large businesses without having to ask people to leave since it isn't toxic. Schaeffer Manufacturing Co. sells SoyShield, which is a diesel fuel additive that can increase fuel efficiency by 5%.

Foster meaningful relationships with your soy producer

Keeping up-to-date with soybean trends can not only help you have a better relationship with your soy producers, but it can allow you to save money. If you know what demands the market calls for, you can be better prepared to either cut back on your soy products or stock up.
Try: For soybean statistics covering recent years, look into Soy Stats from The American Soybean Association. This site compares the soybean production over the years, how or why it's changed, and examines statistics among world, U.S. and state soybean production. Head over to Syngenta Corporation's FarmAssist section on soybeans and check out its current information on the state of soybeans. It includes the day's soybean news headlines and market updates.

 

• Even though most of the country's decision makers haven't set a foot in a soybean field, the American Soybean Association offers leadership roles to inform others about the important role of being a soybean producer.
