The event, themed 'Enabling Trade Today, Unlocking Tomorrow', focused on strengthening global trade, building resilient supply chains, and ensuring long-term food security.
The conference highlighted the vital role of Southeast Asia as a destination for U.S. agricultural exports. In Marketing Year 2023/24, the region imported approximately 9.08 million metric tons of whole soybeans and 20.89 MMT of soybean meal. Indonesia, the largest importer, is driven by strong consumer demand and cultural preferences for traditional soy-based foods.
Speakers emphasized the importance of long-term collaboration between U.S. Soy producers and Southeast Asian partners. They noted the rising demand for high-quality protein and secure, sustainable supply chains. Transparency, trust, and innovation were also stressed as key factors in navigating the global trade environment, with data, technology, and farmer-led innovation shaping the future of agriculture.
The U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) focuses on differentiating, elevating preference, and attaining market access for the use of U.S. Soy globally. The conference reaffirmed the value of strong, collaborative partnerships across the agricultural supply chain for a more resilient, sustainable future for global agriculture.
