With oil prices and crush margins where they are, buyers, crushers and refiners must evaluate soybeans on the quality of the oil. Knowing a soybean’s oil value can help U.S. Soy customers better evaluate their beans and market their oil.

U.S. soybean oil has the highest refining rate, which reduces input costs for refiners. Add it up, and U.S. Soy delivers superior value. You can see this value in real-time by using the Soybean Oil Value Calculator to analyze refining yield, cost and revenue potential for soybeans of different origins.

The "Processing Characteristics of Soybeans from Different Countries" study found soybean oil produced from U.S. soybeans scored systematically higher than soybean oil from other origins.
