The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was established in 1965 through an act of parliament to increase milk production and promote the dairy industry in India. It launched Operation Flood in 1970, which made India the world's largest milk producer by increasing output, farmer incomes, and consumer access. NDDB provides services like project financing, engineering, research, and developing dairy cooperatives based on the successful Anand model.
India ranks first in milk production globally, producing over 32 million liters per day. Gujarat has an annual milk production of 248 million liters per day, with a per capita availability of 435 grams per day. Milk and milk products play a vital role in India's economy, contributing over $105 billion annually. India's dairy industry is dominated by buffaloes, which produce 55% of the country's milk, followed by cows at 40%. The top five milk producing states are Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, and Gujarat.
Profitable Agriculture Based Project Ideas & Small Scale Project Outlines in ...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
India is the world‘s second largest producer of food after China. The arable land area of 159.7 mn hectares (394.6 mn acres) is the second largest in the world (after the US). India has a strong raw material base for the food processing industry. India is one of the largest producers of certain fruits, vegetables, pulses, cereals and dairy products such as mangoes, papaya, potatoes, onions, ginger, check peas, rice, wheat, groundnuts, milk and eggs among others.
The Indian food processing industry is primarily export orient. India's geographical situation gives it the unique advantage of connectivity to Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Korea.

Vistive Gold and Soymega soybean oils developed through biotechnology can help improve human nutrition and public health. Vistive Gold soybean oil is high in monounsaturated fat and low in saturated and polyunsaturated fat, allowing it to replace partially hydrogenated oils and reduce trans fat intake. Soymega soybean oil contains stearidonic acid which clinical trials show converts to heart-healthy EPA in the body. These novel soybean oils can help people meet dietary guidelines to reduce saturated fat and increase omega-3 intake in a sustainable way.
The document discusses the National Soybean Sustainability Initiative (NSSI), which aims to develop a roadmap for sustainable soybean production systems led by growers. It outlines the goals of NSSI, which include documenting current practices, identifying areas for improvement, and communicating sustainability efforts to markets. The key aspects covered include:
- NSSI was developed with input from growers to complement existing programs.
- It established a working group and developed an online assessment tool to track sustainability practices on farms over time.
- Research is being conducted to quantify impacts of practices on outcomes like greenhouse gas emissions.
- NSSI seeks to expand nationally and link with the National Initiative for Sustainable

Sorghum is the fifth most important C4 cereal crop grown globally in arid and semi-arid climatic conditions. Drought is the major cause for loss of productivity worldwide. Delayed senescence of plants leads to adaptation to drought stress conditions by staying-green and giving high yields. In order to identify and dissect the stay-green genomic regions we have developed a high resolution fine mapping population from introgression line cross RSG04008-6 (stay-green) × J2614-11 (shoot fly resistant). Nearly 1894 F2 genotypes were screened with 8 SSR in order to identify double recombinants for both the parents in the sorghum chromosome-10 long arm (SBI-10L).

Rice Value Chain Analysis: Rice Seed Production as a Profitable Agribusiness ...IJAEMSJORNAL
This study explored the rice value chain (RVC) in Nueva Ecija, value additions, found restrictions, and offered to upgrade solutions to improve the competitiveness of the rice industry and specific segments in the RVC using the value chain analysis (VCA) methodology. Farmers, paddy dealers, millers, wholesalers, wholesaler-retailers, and retailers in Nueva Ecija provided primary data. Workshops with stakeholders were also held to validate preliminary findings and identify upgrading strategies. The RVC begins with the provision of inputs for paddy production and concludes with the consumption of milled rice. The RVC is dominated by a traditional multi-layered supply chain with interconnected chain actors consisting of competing farmers, paddy traders, millers, and rice traders in each segment and, frequently, with the involvement of brokers in both paddy aggregation and rice distribution, thereby increasing marketing cost. The major constraints identified in the RVC included high production and marketing costs of paddy and rice due to low yield, high labor and material inputs, and a lack of critical infrastructure and market facilities (e.g., modern mills, dryers, cheap transport, and energy), resulting in high domestic paddy and rice prices and low competitiveness of the entire rice VC. To improve competitiveness, the rice industry should focus on developing and promoting yield-increasing, postharvest loss-reducing, and cost-cutting technologies, as well as those that improve overall RVC efficiency, such as investments in enabling infrastructure and facilities for transport, handling, storage, drying, and milling.

It works to create and share knowledge to increase food security, farming productivity and sustainability. Most smallholder farmers in Southern Africa rely on informal seed systems and drought relief for seed, with over 90% of their needs met through these channels. National programs and international centers have developed stress-tolerant varieties suited to smallholders, but access remains limited due to delays in variety development and dissemination. Innovative community-based seed production strategies coupled with policies supporting regional variety registration could help smallholders gain better access to improved varieties and seeds.

Indian seed production policies and the vegetable seed marketing system have progressed significantly over the past 50 years. Quality seeds from high-yielding varieties, coupled with fertilizers and irrigation, have increased food grain production from 50 million tons to over 276 million tons. The government has liberalized seed trade, encouraging private seed firms. While the seed sector has grown, issues remain around quality, distribution challenges, and ensuring farmers' access to affordable seeds. Ongoing research and new policies aim to further strengthen the seed system and support farmers.

The amino acid requirements of poultry are influenced by many factors, making it difficult to determine exact requirements. However, expressing amino acid needs as ratios relative to lysine can help account for these variabilities. This paper discusses the current understanding of the ideal amino acid profile for layers and broiler chicks. Based on digestible amino acids, the ideal ratios for layers are estimated to be 84% methionine + cystine, 64% threonine, 18% tryptophan, 81% valine and 74% isoleucine relative to lysine. For broiler chicks, the ideal ratios are estimated to be approximately 75% methionine + cystine, 65% threonine
- U.S. soybean prices have fallen 15% since early January due to a slowdown in demand as buyers focus on the upcoming large South American soybean crop.
- U.S. soybean export bids reached their lowest level since 2009 as prospects of record South American crops and a seasonal shift in China's buying lowered export prices.
- Total U.S. soybean sales commitments to China were up significantly from the same period last year while commitments to the world were also higher year-over-year.
This document summarizes global barley trade over the past decade, noting that:
1) The EU once dominated international barley markets, especially in North Africa and the Middle East, but global trade dynamics have changed dramatically with increased competition from countries like Russia and Ukraine.
2) EU policies have reduced market support prices and de-emphasized export subsidies, while regulations will soon eliminate intervention support for barley, potentially causing acreage shifts away from barley.
3) Exports have been redistributed over the past decade, with the EU share declining from around 10 MMT to 1.5 MMT while exports from countries like Russia and Ukraine have increased.

6. History of the Soy Importers Program
In 1997, the American Soybean Association (ASA) began a series of trade programs
specifically aimed at educating importers in Southeast Asia on the benefits of
importing US soybeans and soy products. The program series served to empower
them with information on how to be more effective in a highly competitive domestic
and global business environment, so as to synchronize their existing technical
programs with the fundamentals of the trade as part of the buying equation.
Hence, between 1997 and 1999, seminars that covered the commercial aspects
of the trade were conducted in the region under the Soy Importers Workshop and
04 Risk Management Series.
The program objectives were to:
• provide an understanding of the crucial role the Chicago Board of Trade plays
in affecting price movements, and how other market forces affect these
fluctuations
• present concepts and theories for managing commodity prices using futures
and options
• assist with the establishment of effective risk management to enable customers
to have more direct control over their buying decision
• educate customers on the effectiveness of the US commodity handling system
and development of infrastructure from competing markets
• analyze global market forces and conditions affecting the freight industry; and
other forces affecting the production and demand for US soybeans and soybean
meal
• assist customers with the application of these tools to meet domestic needs
To meet the challenges of the new decade such as the continued expansion of the
South American soybean market, global consumer acceptance of agricultural
biotechnology, and erratic international economies, ASA forged ahead with the
development of a more advanced program series. The new program is designed
7. to equip customers with updated information and new technologies to ensure
that they understand the intrinsic value of using quality ingredients, and are able
to make sound decisions beyond price considerations to ensure profitability.
To take this concept further and customize it to address specific needs within
individual companies, ASA currently conducts workshops under its Preferred
Customer Program. Through the in-house program, core decision makers of the
company that include finance purchasing, logistics and nutrition managers are
able to participate and benefit from this highly dynamic and hands-on computer
based program facilitated by ASA's technical personnel and consultants. The aim
is to demonstrate that no departmental decision should be made in isolation, as
bottomline profits depend on a cohesive buying strategy involving all departments.

About the Soy Importers Guide
The Soy Importers Guide serves as an easy reference tool to assist buyers and
importers with the import of soybeans, soybean meal, soybean oil and other soy
products from the United States. The information contained provides a general
overview of US soybean production and processing, quality standards and
inspection, procurement, payment options, risk assessment tools, and useful
resources and web links.
The Soy Importers Guide is produced under the direction of the American Soybean
Association (ASA) International Marketing with funding from the United Soybean
Board (USB). The United States is the world's premier producer and exporter of
soybeans and ASA is proud to represent those interests from eight offices around
the world. This handbook is just one of the many importer services which ASA
offers consumers of US soybeans, and other soy products.
11. Introduction to Soybeans
Often referred to as the miracle crop, the soybean is the world’s leading provider
of protein and oil. More soybeans are grown in the United States (US) than anywhere
else in the world. In 2004, US soybean farmers in over 31 states harvested 74
million metric tons of soybeans. A 60-pound bushel of soybeans yields about 48
pounds of protein-rich meal and 11 pounds of oil.
The primary use of whole soybeans and protein from soybean meal is to provide
a low-cost, high protein feed ingredient for fish, poultry, swine, cattle, and other
animals. Other uses range from tofu and soy sauce, to soy flour used in baked
goods and high fiber breads. In addition, the protein is used in industrial products
such as plastics, wood adhesives, and textile fibers.
09
Soybean oil is the leading vegetable oil in the world. Uses of soybean oil range
from margarine to salad dressing and mayonnaise. Examples of industrial applications
include the use of the oil as a carrier in inks and paints. Soybean oil also provides
an environmentally friendly fuel for diesel engines.
Soybean Planting, Harvesting and Distribution
Planting
The process begins in the field with the soybean seed planted in spring or early
summer. Planting dates vary depending on the latitude and geographic region.
Classification of soybean cultivars into maturity groups help US farmers choose
correct varieties for their regions. Farmers may plant 6 to 10 different varieties of
soybeans each growing season. Seeds develop in pods with each pod containing
1-5 seeds, but the most common varieties contain 2-3 seeds per pod.
Harvesting
Soybeans are considered dry mature when seed moisture reduces to less than 14%
in the field. Harvesting date depends on the variety, growing regions, planting
12. date, and local weather conditions. The most active harvest periods are during the
months of October and November. In the US, almost all soybeans are harvested
by combines. The seeds are threshed out from pods into a hopper and moved into
a transport truck. If moisture content is more than 14%, soybeans need to be dried.
Once dried to the appropriate moisture content, seeds are transferred to storage
facilities. Proper handling of the soybeans during harvest and storage is critical
to protect the beans from damage.
Distribution
Soybeans are stored at farms, elevators, and processing plants in various types
of storage facilities before being channeled to the next destination. Local elevators
will store and condition the soybeans before selling and shipping to a soybean
10 processor or export elevator. Farmers may also transport soybeans by truck to a
regional transport facility such as a railroad or river terminal for shipment directly
to a grain buying station, processing plant, or harbor facility for shipment overseas.
Once the soybeans are sold to local, national or international processors, they are
refined into various products in many different countries. Soy processors convert
soybeans into products made from whole soybeans, such as tofu, tempeh, miso,
natto, soy sauce, some soy flours, soy nuts, and soymilk. Other soybeans destined
for more traditional food and technical products are graded, cleaned, dried, and
cracked to remove the hull. Soybean hulls are further processed for animal feed
or fiber additives for breads, cereals, and snacks.
Soybean Processing
Whole Soybeans
Whole soybeans are the edible seeds of the soybean plant. They are high in protein
and contain beneficial phytochemicals, such as isoflavones. The mature soybean
is about 38% protein, 30% carbohydrate, 18% oil, and 14% moisture, ash, and
hull. Whole soybeans can be cooked and used in sauces, stews, and soups. Whole
soybeans that have been soaked can be roasted for snacks.
13. Soybean Meal
Soybean meal is a premium product because of its high digestibility, high energy
content and consistency. Over 80% of the soybean meal produced in the US is
dehulled and processed in large state-of-the-art solvent extraction facilities. High
quality standards and an efficient production, handling and shipping industry in
the US ensure that export customers receive a consistent and high value product.
Properly processed dehulled soybean meal is an excellent source of protein and
is used extensively in feed for swine, beef and dairy cattle, poultry, and aquaculture.
Soybean meal is ideal for high-energy rations such as broiler, turkey, and pig
starter feeds. For young animals and birds, dehulled soybean meal is the preferred
product.
Soybean Oil
Soybean oil is the world’s most widely used edible oil. In the United States, it
11
accounts for nearly 80% of edible oil consumption. Soybean oil’s 85% unsaturated
fat profile is among the lowest of the vegetable oils and contains 61% polyunsaturated
fat and 24% monounsaturated fat. Almost all margarine and shortenings contain
soybean oil. It also is frequently found in mayonnaise, salad dressings, frozen
foods, imitation dairy and meat products and commercially baked goods. Soybean
oil has little flavor, which is an advantage because it does not interfere with the
taste of food.
Soybean oil is also used commercially in the manufacture of glycerin, paints, soaps,
rubber substitutes, plastics, printing ink, and other products.
Soy Protein
In 1999 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that foods containing
soy protein may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Foods that meet
the new FDA guidelines can now label their products with this claim. The soy health
claim is based on the FDA’s determination that 25 grams of soy protein per day,
as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart
disease by reducing blood cholesterol levels.
Processed soybean protein products are divided into three categories based on
protein content: soy flour, concentrates, and isolates. Soy flour is made from roasted
14. Tofu Tempeh
soybeans ground into a fine powder and contains 50% protein. Soy flour is gluten-
free, so yeast-raised breads made with soy flour are dense in texture. Soy grits are
similar to soy flour except that the soybeans have been toasted and cracked into
coarse pieces. Soy concentrates come from defatted soy flakes and contain 70%
protein. It is a highly digestible source of amino acids and retains most of the

19. Quality Standards for US Soybeans and Soybean Products
The US market for soybeans and soybean products is well established with quality
standards specified by either government decree or industry adopted trading rules.
In fact, they are governed by both contract specifications and a government
regulated system of guidelines that control inspection, sampling, grading and
weighing of grain and oilseeds. These standards and inspection procedures are
designed to ensure a uniform product and to facilitate the efficient trading and
marketing of US grain and oilseeds. For soybeans, the bulk of these standards and
inspection procedures are maintained by the Federal Grain Inspection Service
(FGIS). For soybean products, they are established and maintained by the National
Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA). As a result of such an open system the
US has the ability to provide a wide array of quality of soybeans and soybean
17
products desired and specified by buyers with varied end use requirements.
Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS)
FGIS is a division of the recently created Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards
Administration (GIPSA). FGIS facilitates the marketing of grain, oilseeds, pulses,
rice and related commodities. It provides farmers, grain handlers, processors,
exporters, and international buyers with information that accurately and consistently
describes the quality and quantity of grain being bought and sold.
FGIS currently:
• establishes and maintains official US standards for grain (barley, canola, corn,
flaxseed, oats, rye, sorghum, soybeans, sunflower seed, triticale, wheat and
mixed grain), rice, beans, peas and lentils
• inspects and weighs all exported grain, oilseed, and related products for domestic
and export trade
• establishes testing methods and procedures, and approved equipment or official
inspection and weighing of grain
20. Foreign Material Soyhulls
• provides a national inspection and weighing system that applies the official
grading and testing standards and procedures in a uniform, accurate, and
impartial manner
• monitors certain grain handling practices to prevent the deceptive use of grading
standards and official inspection and weighing results, and the degradation of
grain quality through the introduction of foreign material, dockage, or other
nongrain material to grain.
US Grains Standards Act (USGSA)
USGSA provides for the establishment of official US grain standards that are used
to measure and describe the physical and biological properties of the grain at the
time of inspection. The grades, classes and conditions reported on official certificates
18 are determined according to the factors defined in these standards. These factors
may include test weight per bushel and percentages, by weight, of damaged
kernels, foreign material, broken kernels and other factors. The certificate also
notes specific conditions of the grain such as moisture content and infestation. No
seasonal adjustments are made on US grades.
Official US Standards
FGIS and Basic Grading Definitions
FGIS defines US soybean as any grain that consists of 50% or more of whole or
broken soybeans that will not pass through an 8/64 round hole sieve and not more
than 10.0% of other grains for which standards have been established under the
USGSA.
There are two classes for soybeans: yellow soybeans and mixed soybeans. Yellow
soybeans are soybeans that have yellow or green seed coats and which in their
cross section are yellow or have a yellow tinge, and may include not more than
10.0% of soybeans of other colors. Mixed soybeans are simply those that do not
meet the requirements of the class of yellow soybeans.
21. Overtoasted SBM Pelleted Soyhulls
Damaged kernels are soybeans and pieces of soybeans that are badly ground-
damaged, badly weather-damaged, diseased, frost-damaged, germ-damaged,
heat-damaged, insect-bored, mold-damaged, sprout-damaged, stinkbug-stung, or
otherwise materially damaged. Stinkbug-stung kernels are considered damaged
kernels at the rate of one-fourth of the actual percentage of the stung kernels.
Foreign material is all matter that passes through an 8/64 round hole sieve and
all matter other than soybeans remaining in the sieved sample after sieving according
to procedures prescribed in FGIS instructions.
Heat damaged kernels are soybeans and pieces of soybeans that are materially
discolored and damaged by heat. Soybeans that have green, black, brown, or
bicolored seed coats are classified as soybeans of other colors. Soybeans that have
green seed coats will also be green in cross-sections of these other colored soybeans.
19
Bicolored soybeans will have seed coats of two colors, one of which is brown or
black and the brown or black color covers 50% of the seed coats.
Splits are soybeans with more than one fourth of the bean removed and that are
not damaged.
A couple of special grades and special grade requirements are garlicky soybeans
and purpled mottled or stained soybeans. Garlicky soybeans are those that contain
five or more green garlic bulblets or an equivalent of dry or partly dry bulblet in
a 1,000 gram portion. Purple mottled or stained soybeans are those with pink or
purple seed coats as determined on a portion of approximately 400 grams with
the use of an FGIS Interpretive Line Photograph.
Other Grading Quality Factors
Interpretive factors can be used under FGIS rule so that visual grading aids assist
inspectors in making subjective grading decisions and to reduce inter-market
differences in inspection results. This consists of Interpretive Line Slides and Interpretive
22. Line Prints. The Interpretive Line Slide system consists of a portable tabletop viewer
and photographic slide transparencies. The Interpretive Line Print and Slides are
photographs and slides that exhibit particular attributes to allow a more uniform
application of the general appearance factors and to aid an inspector in making
grading decisions.

NOPA and Basic Grading Definitions
NOPA is essentially an industrial association that has its own grading requirements
20 and definition of their terms and guidelines. NOPA grading rules serve to regulate
the trade of the two major processed forms of soybeans, soybean meal and soybean
oil. The rules serve as a guide only for transactions. Parties to such transactions
are free to adopt, modify, or disregard NOPA rules.
Soybean Meal
NOPA standards for soybean meal state that it shall be of fair merchantable quality,
conforming to standard definitions and standard specifications of the association,
as set forth in the NOPA trading rules.
Soybean cake is defined as the product after the extraction of part of the oil by
pressure or solvents from soybeans.
Soybean meal is ground soybean cake, ground soybean chips, or ground soybean
flakes.
Soybean mill feed is the by-product resulting from the manufacture of soybean
flour or grits and is composed of soybean hulls and the offal from the tail of the
mill. A typical analysis is 13% crude protein and 32% crude fiber, and 13% moisture.
23. Soybean mill run is defined as the product resulting from the manufacture of
dehulled soybean meal and is composed of soybean hulls and such bean meats
that adhere to the hull in normal milling operations. A typical analysis is 11% crude
protein and 24% crude fiber and 13% moisture.
Soybean hull is the product consisting primarily of the outer covering of the soybean.
A typical analysis is 13% moisture and varying degrees of protein and fiber.
Solvent extracted soybean flake is the product obtained after extracting part of
the oil from soybeans by the use of hexane or homologous hydrocarbon solvents.
It shall be designated and sold according to its protein.
NOPA’s standard specification for soybean flakes and high protein or solvent
extracted soybean meal are produced by cracking, heating, and flaking dehulled
21
soybeans and reducing the oil content of the conditioned flakes by the use of hexane
or homologous hydrocarbon solvents.
Soybean Oil
NOPA defines the standard of quality for soybean oil as a designated type of pure
soybean oil of fair average quality based on the season's production. This must
conform to standard specifications of the Association, and be made part of NOPA
trading rules and which are subject to modification from time to time as conditions
may warrant and upon the recommendation of the technical committee.
The Association defines the types of crude soybean oil and says that edible crude
soybean oil is any of the following: expeller pressed; expeller pressed degummed;
hydraulic pressed; hydraulic pressed degummed; solvent extracted; solvent extracted
degummed; or mixtures of any of the above types.
24. The primary traded soybean oil in the US is crude degummed soybean oil. It is
defined as the product resulting from removal of phosphatides from crude soybean
oil, and should contain no more than 0.02% of phosphorous as determined by the
American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS) Official method Ca 12-55.
The grade and quality of crude soybean oil sold under this rule are to be any of
the above-designated types and conform to the following specifications:
• not more than 0.5% moisture and volatile matter
• a green color lighter than Standard B
• a refined and bleached color not darker than 6.0 Red
22 •
•
a neutral oil loss not exceeding 7.5%
not more than 1.5% unsaponifiable matter (exclusive of moisture and insoluble
impurities)
• a flash point not lower than 250˚F

27. Procuring Soybeans and Soybean Products
The American Soybean Association (ASA) does not buy or sell soybeans for export.
ASA actively conducts programs and disseminates information for the promotion
and expansion US soybean and soy product exports. The Chicago Board of Trade
futures, storage, handling and transportation costs, insurance premiums, profit
margins, etc., subject to supply and demand forces, determine the international
market price for soybeans and soybean meal at a particular time and place. The
United States is one of the world’s largest producers of soybeans (40%) and soybean
meal (27%).

28. Identifying Suppliers
There are many sources an importer can access to locate the names of potential
soybean and soy product exporters. The following groups will assist importers with
contact names of interested suppliers.
American Soybean Association
ASA is a private, non-profit organization with the goal of developing and expanding
export markets for US soybeans and soybean products. Headquartered in St. Louis,
Missouri, ASA maintains offices in eight countries. The regional office located in
Singapore can assist importers in the Southeast Asian region with the search for
US suppliers. For further information contact: ASA International Marketing Southeast
26 Asia, 541 Orchard Road, #11-03 Liat Towers, Singapore 238881, Tel: (65) 6737
6233, Fax: (65) 6737 5849, Email: asaspore@pacific.net.sg Website:
www.asasea.com
North American Export Grain Association (NAEGA)
NAEGA is a trade association whose members include many private companies
and cooperatives that handle a large percentage of US soybean product exports.
Located in Washington, DC NAEGA provides importers with names of interested
suppliers of US soybeans and soybean products. For more information contact:
NAEGA, 1030 15th Street, NW, Suite 1020 Washington, DC 20005, USA, Tel:
(202) 682 4030, Fax: (202) 682 4033.
US Agricultural Offices
In most US Embassies around the world, you can find an agricultural attachè (or
commercial officer), representing the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of the US
Department of Agriculture (USDA). The agricultural attaches can offer local importers
a broad range of information regarding US government-assisted export programs
(for example, GSM programs) as well as assistance in finding potential suppliers.
Additionally, interested importers can contact their local commercial banker or the
branch office of a US based commercial bank for a list of potential suppliers.
29. Purchase Contract
Once a potential supplier(s) of US soybeans (or products) is identified, the importer
should determine how offers will be evaluated. The importer can choose between
a direct, private negotiation at one extreme or a public, formal invitation for bids
(IFB) at the other extreme. Standard contract forms are available and cover the
vast majority of the contractual details encountered in normal transactions. These
standard contract forms for FOB transactions are under NAEGA No.2, FOSFA
(Federation of Oils, Seeds, and Fats Association Limited) 3, and GAFTA 119 (for
soybean meal). For CIF contracts, GAFTA (Grain and Feed Trade Association) 27
or 30 and FOSFA 54 are the general contract forms, and importers should make
themselves very familiar with these various documents.
27

Points to Consider Before a Purchase Contract is Initiated
For the buyer of US soybeans or soybean products, there are several factors that
must be considered before a purchase contract can be initiated.

33. US Bulk Handling and Export System
The United States has the most extensive and efficient system of capital assets
devoted to the handling and processing of grain and oilseeds in the world. The
combination of private initiative and capital investment has exploited modest public
investments in infrastructure and regulation to create a system of unique transportation
and handling alternatives where competition has driven down the costs of getting
America’s agricultural products to the consumer.
Shipping and Handling
Equipped with one of the most modern port systems in the world, the US can
efficiently deliver shipments of soybeans and soybean meal from virtually every
major coastal outlet in the country. Large export orders travel by barge down the 31
Mississippi River system, and are loaded into large ships leaving from New Orleans.

34. Alternatively, shipments to Asia can also be executed off the Pacific Northwest
where, similar to the US Gulf, cargoes can be loaded into various sized vessels
in single or multiple commodity shipments. Soybean meal may also be exported
from the US Eastern Seaboard or through its Great Lakes.
Gulf Coast (US Gulf)
The Mississippi River, regarded as the transportation gateway to the interior of the
US, commands a fleet of over 11,500 hopper-covered barges, towed by 2,000
towboats that ply the river with bulk cargo. Another fleet of tank barges caters to
viscous cargoes, such as soybean oil. There are nearly 6,000 miles of navigable
routes in the Mississippi River Basin including the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio,
32 Illinois, Arkansas, Tennessee, White, Cumberland, Alabama and Minnesota rivers.
Through this system, river transportation reaches every major soybean producing
state in the US providing access to 80% of the US’s soybean production.
Pacific Northwest (PNW)
The Pacific export range facilities have a freight advantage over the other ranges
to destinations in Asia, offering a much shorter distance from the Pacific Northwest
to Asian destinations, and correspondingly cheaper ocean freight. The port facilities
are just as efficient as those found in the US Gulf.
The Great Lakes
The rising popularity of the Mississippi River barge system has seen a slip in the
importance of the Great Lakes despite its unique inland waterway. The St Lawrence
Seaway provides access to the Lakes’ ports that connects Lake Superior, Lake Huron,
Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Following the completion of the Seaway, a separate
class of vessels was specially built – with the specific intention of plying the waters
of the Great Lakes.
37. Specialty / Identity Preserved Soybeans
Food beans have been selected and bred over the past several decades for making into
various types of soyfoods for direct human consumption. They are called specialty or
identity-preserved (IP) soybeans, and usually carry a premium price in the market.
Production for this category of soybeans requires a uniform and uncontaminated supply
of quality soybeans, with only the particular traits desired by the end user. As such,
production and handling of specialty or IP soybeans must be done under a controlled
system of identity preservation.

41. Payment Options
Of critical importance to any international commodity transaction is the determination
of how the payment for goods will be handled. This is often the first question asked
of a potential importer by an exporter of US soybeans and/or its products. The
ability of a potential importer to address this issue early in the commodity procurement
process will not only reduce the time necessary to complete negotiations but help
the importer arrive at a more favorable price as well.
Letter of Credit (LC)
The Letter of Credit (LC) is the most common payment standard for the
international grain trade. The LC should set a time limit for completion and
specify the exact documents necessary to fulfill the terms of credit. A common
payment term required by many exporters is for the LC to be advised to and
39
confirmed by a “first class US or Western European bank acceptable to the
seller.”
Payment options vary in cost to the importer and/or exporter and degree of risk
exposure, both in terms of monetary exposure and performance risk. In examining
the various payment options, the importer should always bear in mind that local
laws and regulations may influence both these factors.
The importance of food relations between importers and exporters is critical to the
success of domestic and international trade and should not be hampered by poor
communication and lack of effective follow-up. It is important to view each trade
with a long-term outlook, and build enough flexibility in all aspects of operations
to ensure successful trading.
42. USDA Export Credit Guarantee Programs
The United States government, through the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA), in recognizing the need to minimize payment risks to exporters and
facilitate US grain, soybean and soy product exports annually establishes and
funds export credit guarantee programs. The two largest programs, the Export
Guarantee Credit Program (GSM-102), and the Intermediate Export Guarantee
Program (GSM-103) provide financing for over 5 billion US dollars of US agricultural
exports.
Key points of the Export Credit Guarantee Programs:
40 • The GSM-102 and GSM-103 are administered through the Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC), a division of the USDA.
• The CCC provides a partial guarantee on the foreign credit risk posed to
US financing banks (98% of the FOB value of the export). On an exception
basis, the guarantee may also cover freight costs.
• Validity for a GSM-102 guarantee may range from 90 days to 36 months;
validity for a GSM-103 guarantee may range from 36 months to 10
years, but is generally granted to 7 years.
• The GSM guarantee allows US banks to offer low interest rates and
extended loan tenors to foreign banks which may in turn, extended
favorable terms to their importer clients.
• GSM funding is structured as bank-to-bank refinancing of a letter of
credit; the letter of credit is issued by the importers bank and refinanced
by the US bank. The importer’s bank has discretion to extend the GSM
financing terms to the importer.
• The importer’s bank, as well as the US exporters and banks must be
approved by the CCC for GSM business. Importer approval is not required.
• A wide variety of US agricultural products may be re-exported under
GSM. The program announcement for each country or region lists the
approved products.
43. Another of these programs is the Supplier Credit Guarantee Program (SCGP). The
SCGP is unlike any other credit guarantee or insurance program in the world. It
is designed to make it easier for exporters to sell US food products overseas by
insuring short-term, open account financing. Under the security of the SCGP, US
exporters become more competitive by extending longer credit terms or increasing
the amount of credit available to foreign buyers without increasing financial risk.
Foreign buyers benefit because they can increase their purchasing power and
profit opportunities, and gain significant cash flow management advantages.
Twelve steps to participating in the Supplier Credit Guarantee
Program:
• The exporter must qualify as a program participant.
41
• He must determine if the USDA has announced credit guarantee coverage
for the importing country and product to be imported.
• Both the exporter and importer negotiate terms of the export credit sale
including arrangements for execution of the promissory note.
• Once a firm sale exists, and before export, the US exporter applies for
payment guarantee from USDA.
• The exporter pays the guarantee fee to USDA.
• The importer executes a US dollar promissory note.
• The exporter ships the product as agreed.
• The exporter submits evidence of export report (EOE) to USDA.
• For immediate payment, exporters may assign guarantee to a US financial
institution.
• The importer receives the products and makes payment as outlined in the
promissory note.
• If payment is late, the exporter must inform USDA.
• USDA will pay claims that are in good order and will seek the full overdue
amount from the importer.

47. Risk Management
The business of producing, consuming, and trading in soybeans and their products,
otherwise known as soybean complex, is one that is fraught with uncertainties.
These uncertainties come in many shapes and sizes and return seasonally with the
cyclical nature of the growing season, manifesting themselves most obviously in
price risk. While there are many risks associated with a business dealing in soybeans
such as transaction risk, execution risk, production risk, and systemic risk – it is
price risk that offers the most visible threat to a firm’s economic health.
Soybean and soy product importers first need mechanisms to help them discover
market price when a decision to buy or sell a commodity is demanded of them.
Once the market price is identified, they must find a mechanism to reduce the price
risk between the time of transaction and the actual delivery of the goods if they
45
are, like most of us, risk averse; the most common mechanism or tool being the
forward cash contract, the most visible the futures contracts traded in the soybean,
soybean oil, and soybean meal futures and option pits at the Chicago Board of
Trade.
Common Risk Management Tools
Forward Cash Contract
A forward cash contract can be an effective method of risk management for soybean
complex market participants. The purchase or sale of the physical commodity in
the cash market for delivery at a specified later date is the most common form of
cash trade. The forward cash contract involves a direct relationship between two
individual parties, each of whom acts as his or her own guarantor. The major
attraction of the forward cash market is that the buyer or seller who needs to
manage price risk can secure a transaction that eliminates exactly that price risk
from which he is seeking relief. Depending on the liquidity of trade, the governing
rules of trade and the availability of quality trading partners, the forward cash
markets are an effective and efficient tool for managing price risk.
48. Exchange Traded Futures
The first risk management tool grain producers and consumers may use to minimize
risk is the exchange traded futures contract. At futures exchanges such as the
Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), futures contracts are traded between market
participants. A futures contract is an agreement to purchase or sell a commodity
for delivery in the future at a price that is determined at initiation of the contract.
This contract then obligates each party to fulfill its terms at the specified price by
either the delivery of the standardized quantity and quality of the commodity, or
by offset.
Exchange Traded Option
At futures exchanges across the globe, another form of risk management has
46 developed over the last 25 years. The exchange traded option on a futures contract
is a unilateral contract which gives the buyer the right to buy or sell a specified
quantity of a commodity at a specific price within a specified period of time,
regardless of the market price of that commodity. Exchange traded options actively
trade at the futures exchanges in the US and abroad and they are an integral part
of many feedgrain risk management programs.
Over the Counter (OTC) Swap
A relatively new risk management tool available to soy complex market participants
is the over the counter or OTC swap, derivative and trade option market. A swap
is a forward contract with the price typically fixed at inception against an underlying
index or indices. Settlement can be agreed on the basis of the value of that index
or those indices at any single point in the future, but is usually the basis of an
average of values over a pre-determined period of time. A swap does not generally
convey the right or obligation for physical delivery.
Derivatives
Derivatives are called such because they derive their value from another instrument.
A broad definition would include products traded on established futures exchanges,
both futures and options, as well as the swap products above. In general use, the
term derivative is distinguished from other forms of risk management first according
to whether their primary use is for shifting market risk and, second, in that they
incorporate characteristics of two or more of the other tools discussed earlier.
49. Trade Options
A Trade Option is a combination of the derivative market and the cash market.
Rather than requiring delivery of the physical commodity as in forward contracts,
a trade option would allow cash traders to utilize the rights involved in exchange
traded options in the cash markets. A trade option is generally an OTC contract
between commercial interests that would give the buyer the right to purchase or
deliver grain against a set price and time period.
