Bulk yellow soybeans from Burkina Faso’s soybean belt, cleaned and graded for export crushing and high-protein meal programmes.
Product Overview
Primary Origin
Central and eastern soybean production zones in Burkina Faso
Product Type
Whole yellow soybeans for oil crushing, meal and food/feed uses
Key Buyers
Oilseed crushers, feed manufacturers, food ingredient buyers and traders
Quality Focus
Moisture control, low foreign material and damage, competitive protein and oil ranges
Burkina Faso soybeans move through regional oilseed flows to crushers and feed manufacturers in West Africa and export markets. Lots are cleaned, graded and sampled against recognised soybean grading frameworks so buyers can benchmark moisture, foreign material, damage, protein and oil, supported by Certificates of Analysis (COA) and optional third-party inspection.
Quality Specifications
Export Grades (Indicative)
Limits follow widely used international references for yellow soybeans (e.g. USDA soybean standards) while reflecting practical export ranges. Exact acceptance criteria and testing methods are defined per contract and lot-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA).
Recommended Storage Conditions
Temperature
10–25°C, stable; avoid rapid fluctuations that cause condensation.
Relative Humidity
≤ 65% (RH) with good ventilation
Stacking
On pallets or dunnage, at least 10–15 cm above the floor and away from walls.
Pest Control
Integrated pest management with cleaning, monitoring and approved fumigation where required.
Nutritional Snapshot (Indicative)
Protein
~34–38% (on ~13% moisture basis)
Oil (crude fat)
~18–21% with a mix of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids
Dietary Fibre
~9–12 g / 100 g
Energy
~400–420 kcal / 100 g
Values reflect typical yellow soybean composition reported in FAO and USSEC technical materials and are provided for orientation only. Buyers rely on lot-specific nutrition and contaminant data in accredited COAs.
Packaging & Logistics
Export Packaging Options
Logistics Corridors
Aggregation
Farm deliveries aggregated in regional warehouses with palletised storage and routine quality checks.
