Last week offered a new perspective as we led Michigan Soybean Committee to explore the food-grade soybean sector abroad. Our travels took us to Japan and South Korea, where we met with customers using Michigan-grown food-grade soybeans in products like tofu, soy milk, and natto.

It was insightful to hear not only what our customers value, but also what their end users expect when purchasing soy-based foods. Understanding these preferences helps strengthen our role in delivering high-quality, identity-preserved soybeans to global markets.

Last week we led staff and directors from Iowa Soybean Association and SD Soybean over to Morocco and Spain to learn and understand these markets. Our focus centered around discussing trends, learning customersโ€˜ needs, and sharing how soy is grown back home. We highlighted how the Great Lakes could be a potential market to source U.S. Soy for the growing feed demand, and how the advantages of U.S. Soy can play an integral part of the livestock industry.

Weโ€™re grateful to the farmer leaders from Iowa and South Dakota who took time out of their busy schedules to be part of the trade mission and share their perspective. A sincere thank you to the U.S. Soybean Export Council - USSEC for their partnership and support while we were in Morocco and Spain.

Thereโ€™s a unique connection between U.S. family farmers and many of our long-time customers in the Philippines who operate family-owned businesses. That shared foundation has fueled decades of collaboration and built a reliable supply of high-quality U.S. soybean meal. Last weekโ€™s Annual Industry Party celebrated that partnershipโ€”honoring the soy business, the relationships behind it, and our shared commitment to continued growth.

We appreciate the farmers and staff from Iowa Soybean Association, MN Soybean Research & Promotion Council, Nebraska Soybean Board, and SD Soybean that attended this trade mission.

Located at Lake Toba, the largest volcanic lake in the world, Regal Springs Tilapia is four hours outside Medan, Indonesia. Theyโ€™ve been producing world-class premium Tilapia since 1998. Last year, I had the opportunity to visit their floating pens in Lake Toba to learn more about their business. Here are some fascinating facts.

๐ŸŸ 4 farms with around 360 floating hatcheries with around 60,000 Tilapia in each.
๐ŸŸ 240 days for the tilapia to reach its target weight of 1.2 KG.
๐ŸŸ Produce around 28,000 MT a year from this location.
๐ŸŸ 46 trucks daily take the four hour drive to their processing facility in Medan, Indonesia.

Itโ€™s an awesome opportunity for soybean producers to travel overseas to visit U.S. soybean meal customers. Itโ€™s even a greater experience when you discover that their product can be found back home. Regal Springs supplies Costcoโ€™s stores here in the U.S. with tilapia loins under the Kirkland Brand.

From field to port to feed, U.S. Soy showcases the hard work of farmers and the trusted partnerships that support global customers.

๐ŸŒฑ Soybean fields, informative conversations, and cultivating connections is the definition of a crop tour.

Last week, we embarked on a four-day journey across the Midwest, visiting three states โ€” Iowa Soybean Association, Kansas Soybean, and Missouri Soybeans โ€” covering a total of over 900 miles. These miles were not merely about the road; they were about the enriching experiences we shared with our farmers. These interactions forged strong trade partnerships with Mexico, ensuring the continued flow of U.S. Soy. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ
