Brazilian Soybean Exports

Brazil stands as the second-largest producer of soybeans globally, following the United States. During the 2014/2015 crop season, soybean cultivation in Brazil spanned an impressive 31.57 million hectares, yielding a total production of 95.07 million tons. The country’s average productivity reached 3,011 kg per hectare.

In the late 1960s, two key domestic factors prompted Brazil to recognize soybeans as a valuable commercial crop. At that time, wheat dominated as the primary crop in southern Brazil, and soybeans initially emerged as a complementary summer crop following wheat harvests. Additionally, Brazil began developing its pork and poultry industries, creating a growing demand for soybean meal. By 1966, soybean production had become a strategic necessity, with the country producing approximately 500,000 tons annually.

The mid-1970s brought a surge in global soybean prices, further motivating Brazilian farmers and the government to prioritize soybean cultivation. Brazil capitalized on its unique advantage: its harvest season coincides with the American off-season, enabling it to benefit from higher international prices. This period also marked significant investments in research and technology, spearheaded by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation.

One of the most notable achievements of these efforts was the “tropicalization” of soybeans, a breakthrough that allowed successful cultivation in low-latitude regions between the Tropic of Capricorn and the equator. This innovation, led by Brazilian scientists, revolutionized soybean farming globally and became a game-changer in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Today, Brazil is among the world’s top soybean producers, alongside the United States, Argentina, China, India, and Paraguay, with its contributions leaving a lasting impact on global markets.

Main Brazilian Soybean Types / Specification

Soybeans are a high protein plant food that people can prepare and eat in a variety of ways. They belong to the pea family. Soybeans come in many colors, including:

Green soybeans: Young green soybeans are also called edamame. People can steam them and eat them out of the pod as an appetizer. Shelled edamame is also available in salads, stir-fries, and soups.

Yellow soybeans: Producers typically use yellow soybeans to make soy milk, tofu, tempeh, and tamari. They also play a role in the production of soy flour for baking.

Black soybeans: Several Asian food cultures use simmered or fermented black soybeans in traditional dishes. Soy milk and cheese are also options for those looking to replace dairy in the diet.

Soybeans also provide soy oil, which people can use for cooking or as an ingredient. After removing the oil from soybeans, people can use the remaining material to make food for farm animals and pets. Some manufacturers make protein powder and isoflavone supplements from soy. Isoflavones are plant compounds that have a similar structure to estrogen.

In general, there are three types of soy: GM, conventional and organic. The first, in its production, offers several types of transgenic soybeans, which are currently being developed. The best known and commercially grown a plant that is received by means of biotechnology techniques, a gene from another organism able to make it tolerant to the use of a type herbicide glyphosate.
