Chapter 1

Soybeans vs. Other Vegetable Oils as a Source of Edible Oil Products

David D. Asbridge, Director, Industry Information, American Soybean Association, St. Louis, MO

Introduction

Soybeans are the dominant oilseed in both U.S. and world markets. During a normal production year, soybeans make up well over one-half of all oilseeds produced worldwide. This domination has been documented (1) since the popularity of the crop skyrocketed in the United States and Brazil during the mid-1970s. Total world production of soybeans now accounts for almost 130 million metric tons (MMT) and is expected to continue to increase as world population increases and people continue to upgrade their diets as income increases to include more fats, oils, and livestock-based protein. This protein, in many cases, comes from livestock fed a nutritious diet of soybean meal and cereals.

Table 1.1 shows how important soybeans are in the world production of oilseeds. It also shows that the United States is the dominant source for soybeans, although Brazil and Argentina continue to increase production. China, a long-time producer of soybeans, has stagnated in its soybean production and will soon probably not even be able to meet its own internal needs as a rapidly growing economy continues to push demand ahead of supply. One growing producer of soybeans is India, where the oil is consumed and the meal is exported to generate hard currency.
