US Soybean Export Council launches Soy Excellence Centre in India

The SEC is designed to foster education advancement for employees and employers in agribusiness

The U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) announced the launch of the Soy Excellence Centre (SEC) in India, a pioneering initiative aimed at early – to mid-career protein professionals to support Indian food and agricultural sectors’ sustainable growth. The SEC is designed to foster education advancement for employees and employers in agribusiness, thereby elevating expertise and competencies.

With global protein demand estimated to grow by 5 per cent by 2031 as the world’s population nears 10 billion, the food and agriculture sectors face one of human history’s greatest food production challenges. This situation presents an equally significant educational challenge. The launch of the Soy Excellence Centre in India is in response to the evolving needs and aligns seamlessly with the ‘Skills India’ initiative which focuses on enhancing the skillset of the youth to prepare them for the future. USSEC’s network of Soy Excellence Centres across the globe shares a unified purpose: to improve the health and nutrition of communities in emerging markets like India. This is achieved by strengthening the capacity and market potential of businesses within the food and agricultural supply chains through workforce development and training.
