About soya beans

cpc code 0141 covers the production of soya beans, a highly versatile legume crop that plays a crucial role in the global food and agricultural industry. Soya beans are a major source of protein, oil, and other valuable nutrients, making them an essential component of both human and animal diets. The soya bean industry is a significant contributor to the broader agricultural economy, providing raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries.

Production process

The production of soya beans typically involves a series of well-established agricultural practices. Farmers begin by preparing the soil, often through plowing and the application of fertilizers, to create an optimal growing environment. Soya bean seeds are then planted, either manually or using specialized machinery, and the crop is carefully tended throughout its growth cycle. This includes activities such as weeding, pest control, and irrigation, all of which are essential for ensuring a healthy and abundant harvest.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for soya bean production include arable land, suitable climate conditions, and access to water resources. Farmers also rely on a range of agricultural equipment, such as tractors, planters, and harvesters, as well as various agrochemicals like fertilizers and pesticides. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce to carry out the various tasks involved in soya bean cultivation.

Production outputs

The primary output of the soya bean industry is the soya bean itself, which can be processed and used in a wide range of products. These include 2304 Oilcake and other solid residues, 1507 Soya-bean oil and its fractions, and 2309 Preparations used in animal feeding, among others. Soya beans are also a key ingredient in many 1512 Vegetable oils and their fractions, 1904 Prepared foods obtained by the swelling or roasting of cereals or cereal products, and 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included products.
