Soybean Value Pricing


The Future of Soybean Marketing... Today!

From AGP®, A Farmer-Owned
Cooperative Soybean Processing Company

 

Component  Premium  Program
 
  • Premiums paid for high oil and protein content
  • Rewards for producing quality
  • Increases income per acre

 

 

AGP is the largest farmer-owned cooperative soybean processing company in the world. Every day we process more than 15,000 acres of soybeans. AGP also is the fourth largest vegetable oil processor in the United States. In other words, AGP has a strong relationship with, and deep commitment to, soybean farmers.

So, it is only natural that AGP should pioneer the future of soybean marketing: value-based pricing.

Value-based pricing rewards producers for component quality in addition to commodity quantity. AGP believes it is in the best interest of soybean farmers to produce the highest value soybean possible, and we believe farmers should be rewarded for providing a product of higher value.

AGP is proud to bring value-based pricing to soybean farmers through the Component Premium Program. It is the first value-based marketing system in the soybean industry.

Contact your local AGP Member Cooperative to learn how you can participate in the Component Premium Program.
