SUPPLY FOR FARMERS
Support producers and protect origin
Our sourcing model is based on long-term relationships with producers, quality-based bonuses and selected programs.
Complete traceability from the field to the customer
Each batch can be linked to its agricultural origin, including field identification, cultivation records, production data and quality information. Traceability systems can integrate geolocation and documentation required for EUDR-related supply chain compliance.
- Farmer identification
- Terrain identification and GPS coordinates
- Cultivation files and history of field interventions
- Production and harvest data
- Field photos and audits
- Storage lot
- Sorting lot
- Final shipping batch
Selected Producer Programs
We work with selected growers, including irrigated production programs, to improve crop consistency and ensure specific traits such as bean size, protein level and visual quality.
- Selected programs for irrigated producers
- Selection of varieties
- Protein quality, size and targets
- Quality bonuses
- Contract production
- Biological programs
- GMO-free production
- SUPPLY CHAINS
Selected programs can target over 6mm of beans and over 43% protein on a dry matter basis, depending on variety and growing conditions.

Polishing systems can remove surface dust and dirt before final sorting and packaging. Low temperature aeration and storage management help preserve quality and control humidity conditions during storage.
QUALITY CONTROL
From incoming grain to finished batch
Inspection, separation and documentation remain connected throughout the process.
TRI
Precision separation
Sorting technology helps protect visual quality and eliminate unwanted material.
AUTOMATION
Efficient handling
Automated material handling allows for safe and consistent movement within the facility.

SUPPLY FOR FARMERS
From the field to the supply chain
Origin, production and quality information can track each selected batch.
PROGRAMS FOR FARMERS
Agricultural quality starts on the ground
Producer programs support features required by food applications.
SHULLED SOYBEAN
More useful material per ton
Our hulled soybean solutions remove the hull before delivery, helping customers reduce downstream processing requirements.
Depending on the product, the protein concentration can be as high as 49-55% on a dry basis. Shelled solutions can reduce hull content and waste at the customer site, reduce energy consumption for shelling, increase useful material per tonne and potentially improve extraction performance and Brix.
Potentially significant savings
Waste processing, handling and energy savings depend on the raw material, equipment and application. They are not presented as an absolute percentage promise.
PACKAGING SOLUTIONS

PARTNERSHIPS WITH PRODUCERS
From our farmers to your brand
Choosing SOYTOUCH also means supporting farmers producing food-grade soybeans to demanding quality standards.
Visit the farmers’ site ↗Higher protein levels, specific varieties and demanding food quality specifications require additional farm labor and can result in lower yields. Our procurement programs are designed to compensate producers for these requirements.
Farmer's story for customers
For selected programs, we can provide customers with information, images and traceability about the growers and fields from which their soybean supply originates. This content can support sustainability, sourcing and brand communications programs.
PACKING AND DELIVERY
