Soyabean Oil is extracted from beans of the soy plant. They grow in pods after the blossom period. Initially, soyabeans contain a high content of protein, predominantly used for animal feed and increasingly in retail products such as vegetarian products and soymilk.

This crop mainly originates from producers in the USA, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, and Canada.
