The U.S. is the No. 1 supplier of soybean meal and oil products around the globe. But even the leader of the pack should focus on continuous improvement. So how can we maintain our competitive edge while also capturing more value from soybean meal and oil? It will take commitment from all parts of the value chain, but the soy checkoff has a vision for making this happen.
