Demand for ‘specialised’ beans, such as organic, certified or plain non-GM beans, are expected to rise as consumers want to verify the sustainability of food production and to be able to track its origin. The biggest increase in demand is coming out of the EU which will, in the long-term, rely heavily on imports of non-GM beans, especially if less rapeseed meal could be sourced due to increased demand for biofuels. About 350 million mt of soybeans are traded annually, but just 14% are not genetically modified (GM), as major producing countries in the America’s use up to 95% of genetically modified seed.
