The Soybean Value Calculator is an innovative tool that enables soybean crushers to calculate and compare the economic value of crushing soybeans from different origins. Customers should enter data specific to their facility or experience, along with composition and physical factor data of whole soybeans, to analyze the estimated total benefit of U.S. Soy relative to other origins.

The Soy Oil Value Calculator is a global tech tool that enables crushers and refiners to make better decisions in their soybean and soybean oil purchases based on the refining differences of the origin of the oil. The tool looks at the rate of refining, and the variable cost of refining for soybean oil from the U.S., Brazil and Argentina, and is based on almost 500 samples of crude degummed soybean oil collected in real-world conditions. The tool can show — in real-time — the economic advantages of choosing a particular soy oil.

The calculator analyzes soybean oil refining yield, revenue potential of refined soybean oil, cost of crude degummed soybean oil, and refining costs (neutralizing, bleaching, utilities).

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.
