Soybean production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Soybean production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Soybean. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Soybean (Glycine max), or soja bean/soya bean, is a type of edible bean from the legume family native to East Asia. It is among the most economical bean worldwide and provides vegetable protein to millions. The beans are available in many forms, like fresh, frozen, canned, and dried.

The oil derived from the bean can be processed into shortening, margarine, and vegetarian/vegan cheeses.

Additionally, Soybean meal can replace meat in many food products as it is rich in protein, including in baby foods and vegetarian foods, and can be imparted with a texture like meat to increase the cooked yield of ground meats. Besides human consumption, it is also extensively used as an animal feed ingredient. Also, the oil of soybean has industrial usage as a key ingredient of products like adhesives, paints, fertilizers, linoleum backing, sizing for cloth, and fire-extinguisher fluids etc., which further the industry's expansions.
