Trade & Exports
Illinois is a leading soybean-producing state located in the heart of farm country in the U.S. Illinois farmers raise a consistent supply of high-quality soybeans that are grown sustainably and delivered efficiently. The Illinois Soybean Association welcomes soybean, meal and oil buyers from around the world to see our soybean industry firsthand, from the Chicago Board of Trade to our fields and transportation system. Illinois soybeans offer advantages for domestic and international buyers.
Positive impacts for farmers
ISA’s Interactive Trade and Export Journey brings the Illinois soybean export journey to life in a visual and educational way in the form of an interactive world map. The map allows farmers and buyers to choose their own journey from farm to market, showcasing the different avenues Illinois soy can take once it leaves the farm, and how it ultimately gets to its destination at a domestic crush facility or international export market.
