The World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (WISHH), a program of
the American Soybean Association (ASA), brings the benefits of U.S. soy
protein to developing countries where it can make a difference in lives
today and in the future.
Since 2000, WISHH has been enhancing the protein intake of many
nations through market development, humanitarian assistance, education
and research. WISHH also understands that developing nations of today
are tomorrow's customers for U.S. soy. All of the top 10 export countries
for U.S. soy is a current or former recipient of U.S. foreign aid assistance.
