Only 2% of US soybeans are grown non-GM

October 26, 2025 |

In Ukraine, UkrAgroConsult reported that production of non-GM soybeans for the food industry in the United States remained stable in 2025, maintaining its share in the country’s overall agricultural output.

According to the U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC), American farmers planted 2.22 million acres of non-GMO soybeans for food use, with 1.67 million acres grown under contract. Thus, non-GM soybeans for food purposes account for about 2% of total U.S. soybean production — a figure virtually unchanged from 2024.

The report noted that Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan remain the top importers of U.S. non-GM soybeans. However, demand is also rising across Southeast Asia and in the domestic U.S. market, it added.
