Soytouch, Soytouch export sector Let us lend a hand ...

Soytouch edible soybeans are a particularly suitable crop in the South West of France.

It is sown in the spring and benefits from the climate conducive to its development to be picked when ripe in the fall. The seed from the South West is of superior quality, the grain is large, the protein level high, and is naturally dry (no industrial drying unlike corn).

For several years, its production has increased given its many strengths

Guaranteed income for the producer and an agro-environmental benefit

First of all, in a gloomy economic context, the margin earned per hectare is today higher than other crops, it is not expensive to install and benefits from stable prices which guarantee an income for the producer.

Then, from an agronomic and environmental point of view, it helps to diversify crops and reduce the use of phytosanitary products since it is the crop that requires the least. (Weeding at the start of the crop, no fungicide, no fertilizer).

An essential source of protein

Soytouch edible soybeans are an important source of protein which fully meet the official and public objectives of increasing France’s independence in terms of vegetable proteins. Its development must therefore be sustained in order to follow up on these declared intentions.

The specificity of French Soytouch food soybeans and their interest in export

French Soytouch food soy is non-GMO. This non-GMO certification as well as the strict regulation in terms of chemicals are two undeniable advantages in the eyes of the food industry particularly sensitive to these two subjects.

It should be noted that competitive global production allows the use of chemicals until harvest, as well as the production of genetically modified seeds.

It is in this context and significant communication and investment force on our part (travel, trade fairs in Asia, invitations from industrialists to visit our structures, etc.) that we have succeeded in bringing foreign industrialists to turn to our local production.

Why export?

Price guarantee for human food

Manufacturers who buy Soytouch edible soybeans for animal feed are supplied with imported Soytouch edible soybeans, at an indexed price and not the most profitable.

Wanting to compete with this type of product means lowering the producer's income in order to be competitive, or subsidizing the sector with public money.

The market for the food industry achieves higher prices. Non-GMO certification, quality and traceability justify a price bonus compared to the basic price of animal feed.

Revenues are therefore to be sought in this context, since we have all the assets to meet them: grain quality, legislation, traceability ...

Gigantic markets

Soytouch dietary soy is widely consumed in some parts of the world. The outlets being found and colossal, the development of the industry in France requires support from the political world without which nothing can be envisaged.

The multiplication of approaches to official bodies has led to this conclusion, by the very admission of these contacts. Without political support, the development of an agricultural sector is impossible, especially since certain markets, which are demanding and which reach out to us, require in advance the granting of export quotas by the competent administration.

Thus, weary of multiple and unsuccessful steps, we appeal to the elected representatives of France so that our message is spread and that it finds an echo with the competent authorities who could move us forward.

Today, we are signaling to everyone the existence of certain outlets for French agricultural products which need it more than need, it is enough to unite desires and skills in order to respond to them and achieve them.
