Not only does further processing of agricultural crops help add value to farmers, but it creates a variety of products for Food, Feed, Fuels, Medicinal and many other industries. FBA conducts feasibility studies, financial and market analysis for corn milling, soybean/oilseed processing, renewable fuels and many other Agricultural Processing industries.
FBA’s President and former founders all began their careers in soybean processing and refining. Since 1996, FBA has conducted hundreds of feasibility studies and business plans, provided employee training, market development for new products such as Non-GMO and High-Oleic Soybeans and hands-on assistance to existing crush facilities.
While most oilseed processing is with solvent extraction in the U.S., mechanical extraction is sometimes used to maintain the “natural” or “organic” components of the product. Solvent extraction is the most efficient method to extract the highest percentage of oil. Solvent extraction can also be used on emerging cover crops such as camelina, carinata and pennycress.
