An introduction to soybean production
Globally, Brazil produces the most soybeans followed by the United States and Argentina. More than half of the world’s population gets their protein supply from plant sources. And, soybeans have an incredibly high protein content. In fact, they are one of the most protein-dense legumes.

U.S. Borax, part of Rio Tinto, is a global leader in the supply and science of borates—naturally-occurring minerals containing boron and other elements. We are 1,000 people serving 500 customers with more than 1,200 delivery locations globally. We supply around 30% of the world’s need for refined borates from our world-class mine in Boron, California, about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Learn more about Rio Tinto.
