Soy Boom: a growing demand for the domestic GMO-free protein crop
The soy crop season begins at the end of April. Soy has sown to a 50 percent larger area, ie 77 thousand hectares last year in Hungary.
One of the key advantage of the domestic soybean is that while the world's leading producers – for example the USA and Brazil – mostly grow GM soy, and there is increasing demand towards GMO-free soy.
Soybeans are protein crops now globally unavoidable: the vast majority of soybeans are used for feeding purposes, and only a very small proportion go to human consumption.
