Sources: Planted areas based on USDA/FAS March 2009 Table 11 Soybean Area, Yield and Production. Biotech-enhanced percentages for the U.S. based on USDA Economic Research Service data; Argentina and Brazilian percentages based on data from the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA).
These three countries (the United States, Argentina and Brazil combined) produced 89 percent of the world's soybean exports and 85 percent of the world’s soybean meal exports. |
