'''IOM soybeans''' is an industrial designation for [[soybean]]s from the [[United States|U.S.]] states of [[Indiana]], [[Ohio]], and [[Michigan]]. Beans grown in those states have a high protein content that is valued by processors, in particular in [[Japan]]. IOM soybeans are traded on the following Japanese commodity exchanges:
* [[Fukuoka Futures Exchange]] (FFE)
* [[Kansai Commodities Exchange]] (KEX)
* [[Tokyo Grain Exchange]] (TGE) (including other US state origins);
and in the past were traded on:
* [[Central Japan Commodity Exchange]] (C-COM)
The Japanese contracts called "IOM soybeans" are unsegregated, meaning any mixture of [[genetically modified]] and not. Non-GM IOM soybeans in Japan are usually just called "Non-GM soybeans."
