Oil seeds feed a crushing and refining industry that produces vegetable oil and protein meal, and a livestock sector that consumes the meal. An importer could be a crusher, a refiner or a trader. Ask which, and get their specification for oil content, protein and moisture before proposing terms.
Turkey sits between Europe, the Black Sea region and the Middle East, so buyers may serve more than one export market.
China, the Russian Federation, Germany and Italy lead the overall source list, which covers all goods. It does not show where oil seeds originate. Import conditions for agricultural products can change, so confirm the current licence, biosafety and inspection requirements with the authorities and the buyer, and agree how foreign-currency payment will be secured.
The $2.8B is the value of HS chapter 12 in full, oil seeds and oleaginous fruits, so soybeans are only one part. The ranking depends on what each country declares for the latest year, so re-exports and reporting gaps can bend it.
