What are South Dakota Soybean Processors Llc's Business Segments?
Soybean Processing
We process soybeans at our two crushing plants to extract the soybean oil from
the protein and fiber portions of the soybean. Approximately 80% of a soybean
bushel is processed and sold as soybean meal or hulls. The remaining percentage
of the soybean is extracted as crude soybean oil. The crude soybean oil may
be sold directly to customers, or we may process the crude into refined soybean
oil for future sale.
Polyurethane
Until December 2011, we produced a bio-based polyol called Soyol® which
was used in industrial applications for the polyurethane industry. We sold Soyol®
to USSC, our then wholly-owned subsidiary, which, in turn, marketed and sold
Soyol® and polyurethane resin systems to customers.
