HISTORY OF SOYBEANS AND SOYFOODS IN BRAZIL
The soybean has a long and colorful history in Brazil, starting in the 1880s and rapidly increasing in importance during the 1970s. Unfortunately relatively little is known of the early history since few documents have been translated into English and few English-speaking people read Portuguese. There is a great need for a native Brazilian to write an in-depth history of soybeans and soyfoods in that country.
