An effort has been made to develop a system dynamics simulation model for soybean production in India. Soybean has been a relatively new introduction to Indian agriculture as a cash crop. Soybean industry in India is typified by high (1520\%) annual growth in area as well as production. It is also capacity as compared to the annual productions. Soymeal has been a major earner of foreign exchange for the country with advancing years. The model presented here analyses the mechanics of flow of area between various crops options, productivity of soybean and competing corps, annual production, prices and the benefitcost ratio. The values of constants were determined through survey of farmers and expert opinion poll. Policy options have been analysed with the objective of higher profitability for the growers in the long run.
