Yeah basically they’d typically export them whole - the varieties aren’t for human consumption due genetic modification less for palatability and more for oils- where they’d be processed for animal feed and oils abroad, then import the end products. Now they’re trying to build the infrastructure for domestic processing, but imo that’s far too little far too late. Not to mention the chud-vernment has blasted anti soy propaganda (for industrial/biofuels and human food) for so long that there isn’t as much domestic market for most of the finished products.
So they’ll probably just do what they can to process it domestically and then swap soy-oil into all of the products they can (probably labelled as a “green alternative” to palm oil)
And they could probably technically just be given to livestock in raw form (rather than the remaining meal following oil extraction), but that would likely mean a few less cents per bushel into porkys pocket, and would probably piss off the corn industry.
Hilariously ironic, because a diet heavier in beans and corn could feed a domestic markets protein needs much more effectively than the industrial torture and systematic massacre of animals fed by those industries byproducts.
“Wait. You’re feeding all the beans to the farm animals? When you could just… let people eat the beans?”
I don’t even like most meats. I do like quite a lot of beans I’ve tried. I am one commie who would not be mad about this shift “After the Revolution”, lol.
A futures trader and a commodities trader take turns profiting from exploiting every thing around them. After a while one turns to the other and says “it kinda feels like we’ve destroyed the biosphere while contributing nothing meaningful to society at large.” “Nonsense,” the other replies, “think of the gdp!”
