On the 23rd of March, we updated you about European soy production and trade. During this annual session, the experts of Donau Soja informed us about the latest developments of soy production and trade in Europe, with special reference to Ukraine. We also looked at opportunities for European soy production,  in the light of upcoming legislation, and in response to new varieties and shifting potentials caused of climate change. Do check out this unique knowledge shared by Donau Soja.
