Since 2005, the Canadian Soybean Council (CSC) has hosted technical programs for current and prospective customers that encompass all elements of Canada’s food grade soybean industry. Programs held to date have involved representatives from the key markets of Southeast Asia, Japan and Vietnam. Our programs are organized and delivered by the Canadian International Grains Institute (CIGI), a key partner in helping Canada’s soybean industry develop and maintain relationships with customers around the world. Soybean programs are customized and tailored to showcase identity preserved (IP) production practices, soybean handling and processing, market-driven research, and soybean breeding. In addition, the programs help to promote technical exchanges between Canadian researchers and participants.

Programs are typically 10 days to two weeks long and feature stops in Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario, where the majority of Canadian soybeans are grown. The program itinerary includes visits to farms, research facilities and processing facilities, coupled with lectures and demonstrations by industry experts.
