percent per year, Cartwright said. It is eaten as a vegetable dish, in soups and salads and as a snack. JYC is a leading importer of edamame and other frozen food products from China, which are marketed through major national retail and restaurant chains. Chung said rising costs in China have made it economically feasible to pursue
his vision of producing edamame in the United States. He holds patents on equipment he invented for efficient processing and packaging with less labor cost compared to operations in China. Chung has a Ph.D. degree in engineering from Purdue University and had a
successful career as an acoustical engineer in the automotive industry before launching a gourmet foods company in 1985, which he sold. He founded JYC In- ternational in the mid-1990s. “We look forward to many years of success here as we become the edamame
capital of the United States,” Chung said. He said help with financing through the Arkansas Economic Development Commission and the Arkansas Develop- ment Finance Authority and technical assistance from the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture have been critical to launching the new venture. Chung’s interest in U.S. production of edamame coincided with a two-year ef-
fort to lay groundwork for edamame production in Arkansas by Cartwright, who is also president of Agricultural Research Initiatives, a research and consulting firm, along with Hank Chaney, Faulkner County Cooperative Extension Serv- ice agent; Lanny Ashlock, Arkansas Soybean Promo- tion Board; and Division of Agriculture soybean breeder Pengyin Chen. Winrock International, Arkansas Farm Bureau, the U.S. Department of Agri- culture and state government agencies also provided support. Mark Cochran, U of A System vice president for agri-
culture, said, “The Division of Agriculture in the Uni- versity of Arkansas System is extremely pleased to have the opportunity to support the development of an edamame soybean industry in Arkansas.” “We are very excited about this great opportunity to
diversify into a new crop and to enhance the tremen- dous impact that agriculture has on the state’s econ- omy by pursuing another value-add enterprise to supplement farm production,” Cochran said. Division of Agriculture soybean breeder Pengyin
Chen has developed a new vegetable soybean variety that is well adapted for edamame production under Arkansas growing conditions. The Arkansas edamame variety will be planted along with a JYC variety from China. Lanny Ashlock, Arkansas Soybean Promotion Board
director of research, said soybean farmers have helped support the Division of Agriculture plant breeding pro- gram and field tests to develop edamame crop man- agement recommendations. Robert Stobaugh of Blackwell in Conway County has
contracted to grow 60 acres of edamame for AVS. He has already grown the new Arkansas variety as part of a seed increase project. “I don’t see any big obstacles for farmers,” said Sto-
baugh, a member of the national United Soybean Board and former ASPB president. Arkansas produces about 3.2 million acres yearly of
commodity soybeans, which are harvested as dry beans and crushed to extract oil and meal. Edamame soybeans are harvested as green pods and are larger and sweeter tasting than commodity beans.
