  • Why is soybean an important oilseed crop?
  • Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important oilseed crop worldwide owing to its diversity of end uses. In the year 2019-20, globally 341.76 million metric tons of soybean was produced which is 61% of the total oilseeds production. Its seed contains 18-23% oil and 38-44% protein. Seed is processed to extract oil for human consumption.
  • What are the shortcomings of soybean cultivation in Pakistan?
  • Less support price of soybean, non-existence of marketing facilities, non-availability of quality seeds, and zone-specific production technology are few amongst many other shortcomings for soybean cultivation in Pakistan (Khurshid et al. 2017).
  • Why is soybean important in Pakistan?
  • Soybean cultivation in Pakistan was primarily aimed at enhancing the production of edible oil, but it has a little share in domestic production as compared to other oilseed crops including cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and rapeseed (Brassica napus).
  • Can Pakistan reduce the import bill for oilseeds & edible oil?
  • Pakistan has the potential of producing sizeable quantities of oilseeds which can reduce the import bill for oilseeds and edible oil. Currently, the country produces various types of oilseed crops including rapeseed and mustard, canola, sunflower, cottonseed, groundnut, soybean, sesame, safflower, linseed, jojoba, castor, Salicornia and salvadora.
