Food-Grade Soy Program Overview 

​

This program invests in processing locations and traceability systems that enable American farmers to compete in modern high-value markets.

Although food-grade soy is widely grown in the U.S., much of what Americans consume is imported or processed overseas. The lack of American cleaning, dehulling and milling infrastructure prevents farmers from entering premium markets tied to branded consumer goods. 

By partnering with buyers seeking verified U.S. supply, we connect production to consumer demand across retail and foodservice channels. This expands market opportunities for American farmers.

The Transform Ag Project offers incentives to farmers producing and marketing traceable, American-grown soybeans. 

​​​​

What is a Traceable Soybean?

Transform Ag is using mass balance (tons in and tons out) to trace soybeans from the field of production to consumers. 
 

What is a Verified Supply Chain Processor?

A Verified Processor is a buyer contracted by the Transform Ag Project to purchase, process and market traceable American soybeans—building localized market opportunities and strengthening supply chain integrity at every step.
 

How Will the Incentive Program Benefit Me and My Farm?

• Improved post-harvest value capture through traceability and food-grade processing

• Increased access to premium, traceable markets 

• Enhanced buyer interest and long-term offtake potential due to verified sourcing and traceability systems

​​​

Building a local, transparent supply chain is a core objective of the Transform Ag Project.
​

Enrolled acres for the soybean supply chain project must be located within 500 miles of an eligible traceable processor in specific states.
