Todayâ€™s farmers are faced with a growing world population that is also increasingly interested in healthier, more nutritious foods produced in a sustainable way. Meeting the those changing demands as well as providing opportunities for farmers to earn premiums for growing crops that meet specific food or feed requirements is key to their future success.

Our commitment

¾«¶«Ó°Òµ is committed to developing innovative sustainable solutions that focus on improving the nutritional profiles of crops to deliver enhanced food and feed products.ÌýThrough our investment in Research & Development, we are focused on improving oil and protein content of crops and advancing hybrids and varieties with improved nutritional profiles. We will be transparent in sharing information about how crops were developed.

PlenishÂ® High Oleic Soybean Oil

Oil made from Plenish^Â® high oleic soybeans is high in monounsaturated fat, and low in polyunsaturated fats, making it extremely stable.ÌýPlenish^Â® high oleic soybean oil has 0g trans-fat, less saturated fat and the highest amount of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat available in soy. Pioneer^Â® brand Plenish^Â® high oleic soybeans offer elite genetics with the yield potential farmers expect, resulting in a healthier soybean oil that has become the industry standard among processors and end users.

In addition, Plenish^Â® soybeans offer a high oleic fatty acid option for dairies trying to maximize milk fat production as well as minimize off-farm feed costs. Growers of Plenish^Â® high oleic soybeans will see higher potential per acre because of processor-paid premiums.
