Donau Soja membership

Donau Soja supports members to build influential connections and access potential partners and buyers. We facilitate specific requests and link members individually. Members receive free or reduced access to exclusive B2B networking events such as the annual General Assembly & Networking Event hosted by Donau Soja.

Members receive Donau Soja market reports on the non-GM soya market and regular newsletters. Moreover, we facilitate market information exchange between members upon request.

Take action and support discussions on the future of soya on the global and European markets. We work with governments and authorities to create a better regulatory environment at national and EU levels.

Members have the opportunity to participate in exclusive Donau Soja webinars and meetings informing our members about the latest policy developments in EU and non-EU countries. Our team participates in a range of expert groups and roundtables to be able to give our members the latest insights and regular updates on the EU Deforestation Regulation and beyond.

Through our social media channels, we are able to reach thousands of representatives from various industries. New members get the opportunity to present themselves at our platforms and the Donau Soja website. Showcase your business and products at congresses, exhibitions, and fairs with a booth offered by Donau Soja.

Together with us, you can showcase your carbon footprint reduction in your product resulting from the use of Donau Soja certified products. Recent investigations carried out by an independent institution show: Our Standards reduce carbon footprint of animal products by up to 40%. Furthermore, our branded datasets are available in official databases such as GFLI or Agrifootprint.

Members can get involved in Donau Soja demonstration platforms (demo fields) at reduced fees and test, analyse and promote their products. Moreover, you will get a chance to become part of our research community and receive scientific research updates.

We support your every step in achieving compliance with Donau Soja’s Standards. Members get free consultation on how to gain compliance with our widely acknowledged standards (Donau Soja Standard, Europe Soya Standard and Non-GM Danube Region Standard), and how to use our trademarks.

A detailed nutrient profile provides a foundation for the best use of soybeans and soya feed products. This is now made easier by latest developments in the area of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). This technology is already widely used in agriculture, but this specific offer uses the latest calibrations of Evonik Industries and goes by that far beyond the possibilities of standard NIRS equipment. Now, it is possible to accurately measure beside the main nutrients (protein, fibre, engery and oil) also soybean processing indicators (TIA and protein solubility) as well as digestibility parameters for poultry and pig. The NIRS-analysis is also applicable for other feed-products, like corn, cereals or rapeseed.

Procedure and important points:

• Contact the Donau Soja team.
• Take a sample as representative as possible (approx. 200-300 grams).
• Decide on an analysis offer and register the samples online.
• Send these samples, according to the instructions of Donau Soja, labelled and well packed to the laboratory in Germany.
