2 S YSTATS 218 A publication of the American Soybean Association Welcome to the 218 edition of SoyStats, your comprehensive resource for statistical information about the U.S. soybean industry and its relationship to global oilseed production. Soybean Highlights From 218: U.S. soybean farmers planted 9.1 million acres (36.5 million hectares). U.S. soybean production was 4.39 billion bushels. Average yield in the U.S. was 49.1 bushels per acre. Total value of the U.S. soybean crop was $41.1 billion. The U.S. exported 2.7 billion bushels of soybeans, or 47 percent of total production. The U.S. was first in world soybean production with 4.39 billion bushels, followed by Brazil at Soybeans represented 59 percent of the world s oilseed production. U.S. biodiesel production was 1.83 billion gallons. Soybean Facts: A bushel of soybeans weighs 6 lbs. (27.22 kg) and produces about 11 pounds of oil and 48 pounds of proteinrich meal. The soybean plant is a legume related to peas, clover and alfalfa. Each soybean plant generally produces 6 to 8 pods, each holding three pea-sized beans.

4 Composition of a Soybean In processing, soybeans are cleaned, cracked, dehulled and rolled into flakes. This ruptures the oil cells for efficient extraction to separate the oil and meal components. Soybean oil finds its way into food products such as margarine, salad dressings and cooking oils, and industrial products such as plastics and biodiesel fuel. Lecithin, extracted from soybean oil, is used for everything from pharmaceuticals to protective coatings. It is a natural emulsifier and lubricant. Lecithin is used, for example, to keep the chocolate and cocoa butter in a candy bar from separating. After removal of the soybean oil, the remaining flakes can be processed into various edible soy protein products, or used to produce soybean meal for animal feeds. The dry (solid) portion of the bean provides a host of edible products. Soy flour and grits are used in the commercial baking industry. They aid in dough conditioning and bleaching. Their excellent moisture-holding qualities also help retard staling. Soy hulls are processed into fiber bran breads, cereal and snacks. 4

35 ABOUT THE AMERICAN SOYBEAN ASSOCIATION The mission of the American Soybean Association (ASA) is to advocate for U.S. soy farmers on policy and trade. ASA represents U.S. soybean farmers on domestic and international policy issues important to the soybean industry. ASA has 26 affiliated state associations representing 3 soybean producing states and more than 3, soybean farmers. In support of ASA s mission to advocate for U.S. soy farmers on policy and trade, ASA invests cost-share funding provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture s Foreign Agricultural Service in the U.S. Soybean Export Council to operate global offices and conduct activities to maximize the use of U.S. soy internationally.
