- Sustainable soy from the United States has become a key input for improving the productivity, animal health and competitiveness of Dominican poultry farming.
Santo Domingo. In the Dominican Republic, where poultry farming meets a large share of national protein demand, the search for more efficient nutritional formulas has become a priority. Along that road, sustainable soy from the United States has established itself as a key input for driving the productivity, animal health and competitiveness of the country’s poultry farms.
Beyond its nutritional value, American soy brings an additional component that is decisive for the sector today: sustainability. It is grown under responsible farming practices that conserve the soil, optimise water use, reduce emissions and guarantee steady, traceable production. This farming model answers the current demands of markets and consumers calling for more sustainable and transparent inputs.
“Sustainable soy does not only feed the birds better, it also strengthens producer families and the whole agri-food chain. It is an ingredient that promotes productivity, sustainability and food quality,” said Luis Bustamante, sustainability lead for Latin America at USSEC.
In the Dominican Republic, this responsible approach is helping poultry companies consolidate more efficient processes in line with international standards. Every batch of feed made with sustainable soy drives a vision of a more competitive industry, ready to meet the country’s nutritional needs and, at the same time, committed to the environment.
With the growing use of sustainable soy, Dominican poultry farming is moving towards a more resilient model, geared to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and focused on guaranteeing a responsible food future for the whole population.
