US
Soy
Immunity is our body’s capability to fight against foreign organisms/abnormal cells/substances
whenever we are exposed to the above, the immune system releases antibodies to prevent any ill effects
caused by the antigen.
An antigen is a toxin or other foreign substance which induces an immune response in the body
Antibodies are the ammunition released by the immune system of our body to combat the attack by the
antigen.
Proteins are essential for the creation of antibodies.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
Amino acids:- essential & non-essential, soy has 20 amino acids, which are required `for every animal/human.
There are 9 essential amino acids (the human /animal body can’t produce or store them) so should be supplied
from the protein we consume.
the rest are non-essential amino acids which are produced by our body.
Rich sources of protein are eggs, meat, poultry, fish, and other animal-origin foods.
For vegetarians and vegans, soy, legumes/pulses, nuts and oil seeds are major sources of proteins.
Curd is a good protein as well as a good probiotic

The Nutrition Awareness Index 2023
A study by
More than half surveyed
believe that they consume
balanced meals
Almost 8 out of 10 Indians are
still unaware of the vegetarian
sources of protein
Nearly half of young
Indians aged 18-35 say
access to nutrition is a
challenge
Over half of India is
unaware of healthy fats.

7. Soy – Consumption Patterns
7
US
Soy
Soy food is one of the fastest-growing segments (1.5 MMT)
Mainly driven by health-conscious consumers
Soymilk, tofu, and TSP protein supplement markets continue
to have healthy growth.
Home-level consumption of whole beans
Increasing interest in plant protein-based foods
Soy-based meat analogues are growing with innovative
products
High protein, low glycaemic reconstituted rice, Lentil analogue
US soy protein isolate has about 60% market share (~25 m$)
Scope of US high-value protein products based on
functionality
Bakery, snack food and processed food industry.`
Tempeh is a new entrant to the Indian market

8. U S Soya
Why Beyond Meat went beyond
• Bubble Bust
• HYPE Vs Facts
• Alternative to MEAT
• Basic food Needs to be
affordable
• “ultra-processed”
• Do We need this
• Inflation

SOY is Economical

9. Relevance of Soy in India
9
US
Soy
It is all about
.5 million Indian soy farmers
200 Crushers and refiners
About 1000 Feed Millers
and the whole consumer for protein
soymeal has contributed to FOREX reserve
employment generation in every supply chain of Soy, from farm to feed and supporting industries …
The only one commodity which has a significant role in providing:-
• A Plant protein which assures Nutritional security for humans
• Primary protein source for Feed
• Nitrogen to mother earth or soil
• and, it will be a source of sustainable aviation fuel or renewable energy.

10. It is not just soy oil – it is more than this!
10
US
soy
Oil is 18%, and protein is 35-40% still, it is an OIL Seed
Soy is the economically feasible plant protein available
India consumes around 1.5 million mts of soybean in food
The primary contributor in the food sector is TVP and, which is very significant in our market
Soybeans grind and blend with wheat and other course grain in households, reaching around .3-.5 million mts.
New products which are getting into the limelight are Vegan alternatives and meat-like foods ()
We might be importing approximately 10K mts of soy isolate, which is getting in demand; we could see some Demand in
this sector.
Soy products like .. Tofu, milk, papad, ice cream, soy nuts …tempe
Protein fortification is a sector govt is looking for investments in as we do have protein deficiency across the population
One positive shift or change that has been noticed during this Post covid is a “protein fever”, where food products are
coming with added PROTEIN

11. Relevance of Soy in feed/food industry
Availability
Affordability
Consistent quality
Sustainable source
High protein (44 –60%)
High digestibility (88-92%)
Better Amino-acid profile
Source of lipids

12. Why Soy ….
So relevant &
So essential in feed ?

13. Major factors determining the use of protein meals
Nutrient matrix
• Protein content?: (N*6.25)
• Amino acids:
• EAA) vs non-essential AA,
Digestible AA (SID)
• Ideal Amino Acid Balance
• Energy Very Important
• Minerals
• Nutrient density
• Nutrient density
• Antinutritional factors
• Availability
• Consistency
• Other raw materials use and
prices
• Feed type and formula
specification

15. Soybean meal
15
US
soy
o Globally soybean meal is the preferred and
widely used protein source in poultry diets
o It is the gold standard against which other
protein meals are compared

16. Comparing Soybean meal
to other major plant
protein meals

17. Soybean meal
• Most widely used protein source in
poultry diets.
• Best protein meal available: High quality
protein
• High Amino acid digestibility
• Ideal balance of EAA
• Fairly high Energy
• Low fibre and palatable

22. An awareness campaign to educate people about the importance
of adequate protein consumption for better nutrition, health,
and wellbeing
The campaign aspires to build public knowledge of different
types of protein sources, to meet larger nutritional security
goals
Right To Protein is supported by several like-minded
organizations, institutions, academicians, professionals, and
individuals. The campaign is exclusively driven by the U.S.

Farming is more complex than ever before
Modern agriculture practices are a part of farming
everyday.
• Seed selection,
• planting,
• plant management,
• harvest — modern agriculture is prevalent in these
practices all along the way.
PRECISION AGRICULTURE (Technology, data and farming )
Combination of
• BIOTECHNOLOGY,
• MECHNISED FARM OPERATION,
• TECHNOLOGY,
• CROP NUTRITION AND SOIL HEALTH
• Water availability and Quality
