In supermarkets or markets, we can often see soybean oil or peanut oil. Their prices are different, but if we compare them, we will find that peanut oil is more expensive than soybean oil. However, if soybeans cost three yuan per pound and the oil yield of soybeans is only 15%, then why is soybean oil sold so cheaply? Maybe genetically modified?

We calculate based on 5 liters of soybean oil, the soybean oil yield is 15%. Then the density of soybean oil is 0.92 kilograms per liter, and the density of 5 liters of soybean oil is 4.6 kilograms, which is 99.2 kilograms. Then, the oil yield of 9.2 kilograms of soybean oil is 15%, so 61.3 kilograms of soybeans are needed, manufacturer. If the price is high enough, if one pound is calculated as three yuan, 61.3 pounds of soybeans will cost 183.9 yuan.

The price of soybean raw materials required for a 5-liter bottle of soybean oil is 200 yuan per pound, so why does soybean oil in supermarkets cost 40 to 50 yuan?

Don’t forget, many soybean oils sold in supermarkets are blended oils. Blended oils are squeezed out and then mixed with other cheaper oils.

In 2019, my country’s soybean production was 14.55 million tons and corn production was 215.89 million tons. Soybean production is so low that we can see that our soybean oil is actually made from imported soybeans. These big ones are genetically modified soybeans. Domestic soybeans have a high oil yield, generally 15%, but foreign soybeans can reach 22% to 23%. The gap is still huge. Moreover, the soybean meal after oil extraction is mainly processed into feed, which can also make money.

And the cost of growing soybeans abroad is actually much lower than domestically, because. Foreign soybean cultivation technology is high and does not require plowing. They are mainly sown with a seeder, watered thoroughly, and then planted in grassy woodland so there are no weeds. When crops are harvested, the straw is broken directly and the land is used as fertilizer. The yield is extremely high, and large areas are planted. We still use traditional agricultural methods to grow soybeans in our country, and there is no way to compete!

And with the continuous development of science and technology, the traditional physical pressing method has become the current chemical leaching method. And this chemical leaching method. The oil yield is also very high, but many of the nutrients in it are destroyed, and the resulting dishes are not as delicious as physically pressed soybean oil, so the price is cheaper.

If you really want to eat pure soybean oil, you can grow or buy your own soybeans, and then find a workshop to process them, but the price is a bit high.
