The soybean, also called a leguminous plant or soya bean, is an annual legume of the rosid dicot family (Fabaceae) and its seed.

The soybean is economically the most important bean in the world, providing vegetable protein for several people and ingredients for many chemical products. An ancient crop, the soybean, has been cultivated in China, Japan, and Korea for hundreds of years as a diet and a component of medicines. Soybeans were introduced in the US in 1804 and have become particularly important in the South and Midwest in the mid-20th century. Brazil and Argentina are also major producers. Soybeans are usually harvested mechanically after the leaves have fallen off the plant, and therefore, the moisture content of the seed has dropped to 13 percent, permitting safe storage. Like other legumes, the plant adds nitrogen to the soil, utilizing nitrogen-fixing bacteria and historically has been a crucial soil-enriching crop, though this practice isn't common in most industrial agriculture systems.

MARKET DRIVERS

Soybeans could be a commodity that will be used as food, feed, in additional to to fuel. The bulk of soybeans is employed as feed for poultry, as well as in agriculture, whereas it also finds application in various food preparations. Recently, the usage of soybean oil as a biofuel has increased the demand for soybeans, and hence, its multilateral usage and significance have led to a substantial increase in demand for the soybean seeds market. Modern research has led to interesting types of uses for the soybean. Industrially, the oil extracted from the soybean seeds is employed as an ingredient in paints, adhesives, fertilizers, sizing for cloth, linoleum backing, and fire-extinguisher fluids, among other products. The aforementioned factors are likely to propel the growth rate of the soybean seeds market to an extent.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

However, lack of awareness is slowly restraining the growth rate of the soybean seeds market. The rising cost of foofaintenance is degrading the demand in the market. Changing climatic conditions are degrading the growth rate of the market.
