China’s food processors are increasingly seeking to import food-grade soybeans to meet consumer demand for soy-based foods. The most recent data available from 2015 revealed that China’s top 50 soy food manufacturers processed approximately one million metric tons of food-grade soybeans into $2.6 billion worth of soy food products. Post suggests U.S. food-grade soybean exporters attend the China International Soybean Food Processing Technology and Equipment Exhibition, or similar events, in order to meet with interested Chinese food-grade soybean importers.
