It was after the Sino-Japanese War, 1894-1895, that 
the export of Bean Cake to Japan commenced and its 
fertilizer value began to be recognized. This brought about 
a sharp increase in demand year after year. The Bean 
mills in Manchuria thus entered upon a new era of develop- 
ment. The position of Bean Oil and Bean Cake became 
reversed. Bean Cake came to be looked upon as the 
principal produets with Bean Oil for by-product. 
During these dozen years or so, the world was con- 
fronted with dearth of oil and fat, and this led to the 
awakening of an immense demand of worldwide scale for 
Bean Oil. The lively export thereof to Europe and 
America followed. How the business ran briskly during 
the Great War is known to everybody. Thus Bean Cake 
was supplied to Japan and South China as important 
fertilizer, while Bean Oil was in lively request on the 
Western markets as a foodstuff and an industrial material. 
In this way, Beans have been helped to rise to be in world- 
wide demand, bean milling industry, too, growing up to 
its present dimensions.
