Meghna Group of Industries (MGI), Bangladesh’s largest importer of US soybeans, has become the first company to adopt the Sustainable US Soy (SUSS) label on its packaging in Bangladesh.
With a strong crush capacity of 7,500 tons/day, MGI’s decision is a key step towards deeper integration of supply chain transparency and sustainability in Bangladesh’s feed and food industry.
“Sustainability is at the core of MGI’s long-term vision, and the SUSS logo is a meaningful step in that journey,” said Tanzima Mostafa, MGI Director.
“It allows us to back our commitment with verified, credible standards — assuring our customers that the products they choose are rooted in responsible and transparent agricultural practices. For our customers, this is more than a label; it is the assurance that their investment aligns with a sustainable future. By embedding sustainability into our supply chain, we are not only delivering premium nutrition but also creating lasting value for our customers and the planet.”
With 51 years of experience, MGI has established itself as one of Bangladesh’s largest conglomerates, with a diverse portfolio spanning animal feed, crushing, edible oil, FMCG products, logistics, and more.
MGI now joins 20 forward-looking companies across South Asia that have signed agreements to adopt the SUSS labels, demonstrating the region’s growing shift towards embracing verified sustainable sourcing.
“We are proud to see MGI’s leadership in adopting the SUSS label,” said Kevin Roepke, Executive Director at USSEC.
“This partnership with US Soy shows their dedication to integrating sustainability into their supply chains. Bangladesh is one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to climate change and by leaning into this program, MGI is demonstrating meaningful action.”
A strong trading partner, Bangladesh has already imported 1.13 million tons of soybeans from the US in the 2025/2026 marketing year, with MGI representing more than half of that volume.
The adoption of the label builds on letters of intent that MGI signed last year, along with Bangladesh’s key stakeholders, to increase US Soy purchases to USD 1.25 billion.
At the core of this milestone is the US Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol (SSAP). Recognized worldwide as a symbol of responsible soybean sourcing, the label is available at no cost to qualifying companies. US Soy is grown using verified sustainable farming practices that enhance soil health, air quality, water management, and more.
