Trait-Enhanced Soybean Oil
The Basics
What is it?
Simply put, it is the use of traditional breeding methods and biotech tools to create soybeans that yield healthier, more useful oils. The food industry, for example, uses high-oleic soybean oil to create products that have less trans fat – something their customers increasingly demand.
Who wants it?
High-end restaurants, fast-food joints, even the maker of that bag of chips you snack on. If people are baking or frying something, there's a good chance they can make it healthier and more affordable with trait-enhanced soy oil.
Why Plant It?
Your customers are demanding it. Processors are providing incentives for it. And the whole industry is benefiting. Trait-enhanced oil offers soybean farmers bottom-line incentives in the short term and access to growing markets in the long term.

Trait-enhanced soybean oil gives farmers the ability to reclaim lost edible oil demand and grow the market into the future.
