According to the "Donau Soja Market Report," Ukraine experienced the largest growth in soybean harvest, with an increase of almost one million tons or 20% compared to the previous year. The European Union also saw an increase in soybean harvest by 740 thousand tons, with overall harvest volumes increasing by more than a third. Donau Soja, a soybean company, sees potential in expanding GMO-free and sustainably produced soy value chains in both EU and non-EU European countries due to the reliance on uncertified sources that may contribute to deforestation.
