about high-oleic soybeans
In the past 10 years, overall U.S. edible oil consumption increased nearly 21 percent with palm and canola's growth in consumption far outpacing soybean oil. High-oleic soybeans provide U.S. soybean farmers the opportunity to reclaim market share.
Over the long term, U.S. soybean farmers will benefit from planting high-oleic soybeans because the oil from these varieties addresses long-term demand. The end result: long-term profit potential for every U.S. soybean farmer.
