Definition of Soybeans
Soybeans are defined as grain that consists of fifty percent (50%) or more of whole or broken soybeans that will not pass through an eight sixty-fourths round-hole sieve and not more than ten percent of other grains for which standards have been established under the United States Grain Standards Act.
What is a GMO?
A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or other organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacterial and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.
Generally speaking, GMO refers to any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. GMOs are the source of genetically modified foods and other products, and are widely used in scientific research.
Why GMO SOYBEANS?
Lower price point for consumers
Lower production costs for farmers
Greater durability and/or nutritional value for health benefits
Increased resistance among crops to plant diseases caused by insects or viruses
Tastier and more nutritious foods
Increased supply of food with reduced costs and longer shelf life
Medicinal foods that could be used as vaccines or other medicines

Soybean Classes
There are two classes of soybeans
Yellow Soybeans are soybeans that have yellow or green seed coats and which in cross section are yellow or have a yellow tinge and may include not more than 10.0 percent of soybeans of other colors.
Mixed Soybeans are soybeans that do not meet the requirements of the class Yellow Soybeans
Soybeans of other colors
"Soybeans of other colors" includes soybeans that have green, black, brown or bicolored seed coats. Soybeans that have green seed coats will also be green in cross section.
Note- "Soybeans of other colors" is not a class of soybeans.
Soybeans with green seed coats that are yellow when cross sectioned are considered Yellow Soybeans.
Bicolored soybeans will have seed coats of two colors, one of which is brown or black, and the brown or black color covers fifty percent of the sheet coats. The hilum of a soybean is not considered a part of the seed coat for this determination.
Black Soybeans
Black Soybean is a measurement of the number of soybeans that have black seed coats contained in a specific weight, for example, the number of black soybeans per 1000 gm
Soybeans of other colors-Bicolored soybeans
Black Colored Jet Soybeans-Organic Non-GMO Black Jet Soybean
Identity Preserved (IP) Soybeans
In Canada and USA the soybean growers who're willing to grow IP SOYBEANS categorically, conditionally, compulsory grow the soybeans in a specified area of their farm and all planting and harvesting equipment needs to be cleaned and inspected before the planting and the harvesting.
Such special farm fields are inspected during the growing season and the containers that are used for shipping IP beans are thoroughly inspected for cleanliness prior to loading.
U.S. Sample Grade:
U.S. Sample Grade is soybeans that:
a) Do not meet the requirements for grades U.S. No. 1,2,3, or 4; or
b) Contains 4 or more stones which have an aggregate weight in excess of 0.1 percent of the sample weight, 1 or more pieces of glass, 3 or more crotalaria seeds, 2 or more castor beans (Ricinus communis L.), 4 or more particles of an unknown foreign substance(s) or a commonly recognized harmful or toxic substance(s), 10 or more rodent pellets, bird droppings, or an equivalent quantity of other animal filth in 1000grams of soybeans, or
c) Contain 11 or more animal filth, castor beans, crotalaria seeds, glass, stones or unknown foreign substance(s) in any combination, or
d) Have a musty, sour, or commercially objectionable foreign odor (except garlic odor) or
e) Are heating or otherwise of distinctly low quality.

8 steps in grading soybeans : under revised standards, effective September 1, 1949
Farmers know they cannot get top prices for dirty wool, mixed eggs, or tree-run apples. The same is true of low-grade soybeans. This folder shows you how to tell soybeans of high grade.
SAMPLE
Start with a fair sample of the soybeans. (Grain graders use a long metal trier, or probe, to draw a sample.) (1)*
The first five tests are made before the sample is sieved.
1. ODOR
Smell the sample (2). Soybeans with a musty, sour, or other bad odor will be graded as Sample. Soybeans can grade No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, or as Sample. Sample grade is the lowest. The higher grades bring higher prices. No. 2 is tile grade used most in the grain business.
2. WEEVIL AND GARLIC
If the soybeans are infested with live weevils or other live insects injurious to stored grain, the term "weevily" is added to the grade, as No. 2 Yellow Soybeans, Weevily.
If 1,000 grams (about 21/ lb.) of the soybeans contain five or more garlic bulblets (wild onions), the term "garlicky" is added to the grade, as No. 2 Yellow Soybeans, Garlicky.
Weevils and garlic are seldom found in soybeans, except in a few counties.
3. MOISTURE
Soybeans must be dry to keep from spoiling in the bin. Grade No. 2 may have no more than 14 parts of water in 100 parts of soybeans (14 percent). Grain inspectors make tests for water content with moisture machines (3). Most farmers know by the hardness of the grain when soybeans are dry enough to store safely.
4. TEST WEIGHT
Good soybeans are plump and heavy. Grain inspectors use a brass quart measure and beam in making test weight (4). No. 2 soybeans must test at least 54 pounds to the bushel. Farmers with clean, dry, ripe soybeans never have trouble with test weight.
5. FOREIGN MATERIAL
Soybeans should be clean. Dirt and weed seeds lower the price and grade. Inspectors clean soybean samples with a screen or sieve. The sieve has round holes one-eighth of an inch across. Dirt, pieces of soybeans, and other matter taken out with this sieve are known as fine foreign material. Foreign material also includes corn and other grains, sticks, pods, weed stems, and large weed seeds, such as those of cockleburs, morningglory, horsenettles, or groundcherries, which will not go through the sieve. Inspectors pick this coarse material off the sieve and add it to the material that went through the sieve. The combination of the fine material removed by the sieve and the coarse material that remained on the sieve makes up the foreign material (5).
To grade No. 2, soybeans cannot contain over 3 percent of foreign material. See grade chart, column headed "Foreign material."
The next three tests are made on the sample after it has been run over the sieve. The sample may still contain coarse foreign material.
6. MIXED COLORS
Soybeans of different colors, such as black or brown in yellow, lower the value. Keep black, brown, and green beans away from the yellow. Over 2 percent other colors in yellow throws the sample out of the No. 2 grade. See grade chart, footnote 1.
7. SPLITS
When soybeans are very dry they may split when they go through the combine. The combine should be adjusted during the day as the beans become drier. To be in No. 2 grade, beans may not be over 20 percent split. Fractions of 1 percent are disregarded in making this test.
8. DAMAGE
Soybeans are used for food. Moldy, rotten, or frozen beans are not wanted, and the damaged beans cannot exceed 3 percent if the soybeans are to grade No. 2. Inspectors cut some of the beans in half with a sharp blade to be sure the damage has gone through the outside skin (6). When cut open, sound, ripe soybeans usually show a creamy-yellow color; any great difference in color indicates that the bean is damaged. If damp soybeans heat in the bin, the kernels may turn brown inside and look like over roasted peanuts. This is called heat damage, and mills do not want heat-damaged soybeans. Grain inspectors use small scales or balances to make correct tests of what the sample has in it. After your soybean sample is tested by the inspector it is graded (7). If it does not pass for No. 1, it may be No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, or Sample grade.
The inspector must give his reason for assigning the grade he gives to the soybeans. If you are not satisfied with the grade, you may appeal to the district grain-inspection supervisor, United States Department of Agriculture. 16-59046-1
HIGH-GRADE SOYBEANS
Have a good natural odor.
Are dry and clean, plump and heavy.
Are not mixed with soybeans of another color.
Do not have many split or damaged beans.
WHAT FARMERS CAN DO
TO GROW SOYBEANS THAT WILL GRADE HIGH
1. Use good seed.-Get a high oil yielding variety recommended by your own State experiment station.
2. Make a good seedbed.-Work the ground well to kill weeds before planting the seed. Plant soon after corn, when the ground is warm, and preferably in rows, so that beans can be cultivated. Late planted beans may not ripen and may lodge in the field. Inoculate the soil when soybeans are sown on land for the first time.
3. Harvest carefully.-Do not combine until the seed is fully ripe. When soybeans are very dry, be careful not to split the seeds in combining or threshing. To prevent spoilage, soybeans should be thoroughly dry before they are put into the bin.
Licensed grain inspectors and Federal grain-inspection supervisors of the United States Department of Agriculture are the officials located in the larger grain markets who can give you further advice on grading soybeans.

We and our counterparts, customers, clients had many problems with documents used illegally by companies / brokers who are acting in the international sugar market.
A-1 OVERSEAS does not provide proof of product anytime before contract signature and bank to bank swift with proof of funds.
Therefor for legal and confidential purposes, we do not provide historical data from other buyers, such as invoices for past shipments, Bills of Lading, invoices from shippers, reports from SGS, laboratory tests, Performance Bonds, Proof of Product (POP), contracts, etc., or any sample document that violates the rules of the ICC (International Chamber of Commerce) and can be plagiarized or falsified.
The real Proof of Product will be presented by the Seller’s bank to the Buyer’s bank at the specified time in the Procedures looking at the situation that time.
Please do not insist as we understand any communication that is not bank to bank has no value either for us or for the buyer/customer/client. We respect our clients but simultaneously we also expect them to follow certain rules to make things feasible for the system.
