The soybean is far more than just a legume, it’s one of the most versatile agricultural commodities in the world. From tofu and soy milk to livestock feed and biofuel, the demand for quality soybeans is rising rapidly.

Iran, with its rich agricultural regions such as Gilan, Mazandaran, Golestan, and West Azerbaijan, has become an emerging producer of diverse soybean varieties. Each type serves a unique purpose in international trade, catering to feed manufacturers, food processors, and health-focused industries.

In this article, we’ll take a deep look into the three main categories of Iranian soybean varieties—Feed-Grade, Food-Grade, and High-Protein Seeds—and explain how Tamila Agrifood helps global buyers find the right match for their needs.

1. The Landscape of Soybean Production in Iran

Iran’s soybean cultivation benefits from:

•    Fertile soil and favorable climatic conditions

•    Access to clean irrigation sources

•    Government initiatives supporting oilseed crops

•    Increasing local expertise in sustainable farming

These factors contribute to soybeans that are rich in protein, uniform in size, and low in impurities, making them highly competitive in both regional and global markets.

At Tamila Agrifood, we partner directly with trusted farmers and processing facilities to ensure traceability, purity, and compliance with international standards.

2. Feed-Grade Soybeans: Nutrition for Livestock & Poultry

Feed-grade soybeans are primarily used for animal nutrition and oil extraction.

They are a cornerstone in the production of:

•    Soybean meal (high-protein feed ingredient for cattle, poultry, and fish)

•    Soybean oil (used for industrial and feed formulations)

Key Features:

•    Protein content: 38–42%

•    Moisture: below 12%

•    Impurities: below 2%

•    Suitable for crushing and oil mills

Tamila Agrifood’s feed-grade soybeans are tested for aflatoxin, moisture, and oil content, ensuring that livestock producers and feed manufacturers receive consistent, safe, and cost-effective raw material.

Main Markets:

Feed-grade Iranian soybeans are exported mainly to Turkey, Iraq, UAE, Kenya, and Vietnam, where they’re used in animal feed industries and oil refineries.

3. Food-Grade Soybeans: For Human Consumption

Food-grade soybeans are cultivated and processed with stricter quality control, as they’re used in human food products such as:

•    Tofu and soy milk

•    Soy flour and textured soy protein (TSP)

•    Miso, tempeh, and soy-based snacks

Key Features:

•    Protein content: 40–45%

•    Uniform size and shape

•    Non-GMO and pesticide-free options available

•    Low levels of foreign matter and damage

At Tamila Agrifood, we specialize in supplying food-grade soybeans that comply with ISO, HACCP, and Organic certifications. Each batch is traceable from farm to container, making it ideal for importers in Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

Unique Value:

Our food-grade soybeans are known for their light color, soft texture, and mild flavor, making them perfect for both traditional and modern food applications.

4. High-Protein Soybeans: Premium Grade for Specialized Use

The global demand for high-protein soybeans has surged due to the rising popularity of plant-based diets and sports nutrition.

Iran’s high-protein varieties, with protein levels reaching up to 48–50%, are cultivated under controlled, low-pesticide conditions in regions like Golestan and West Azerbaijan.

Common Uses:

•    Protein powders and nutritional supplements

•    Meat alternatives and plant-based food industries

•    Premium animal feed blends

Advantages of Iranian High-Protein Soybeans:

•    Naturally rich in essential amino acids

•    Low-fat and high-fiber composition

•    Sustainable, non-GMO cultivation

•    Cost-effective alternative to U.S. or Brazilian origins

Tamila Agrifood provides lab-tested, high-protein soybean varieties that meet the demands of nutraceutical, vegan, and high-value food industries.
