  • How many soybeans were planted in South Africa in 2022/2023?
  • The soybean industry is at the forefront of this exceptional increase and in 2022/2023 a record of 1 148 300 ha soybeans were planted in South Africa with a record harvest of 2,75 million tons. In certain districts of the country soybeans have now become the main crop.
  • Could BP and Shell sell South Africa’s oil refineries?
  • It was also possible that those refineries currently associated with international oil majors that had signalled a desire to withdraw from refining, such as BP and Shell, could seek to sell their South African refining assets, he said. BP and Shell currently own the 165 000 bbl/d Sapref refinery in Durban, which is South Africa ¡¯s largest.
  • How is soybean oil made?
  • To produce soybean oil, the soybeans are cracked, adjusted for moisture content, heated to between 140°F and 190°F, rolled into flakes, and solvent-extracted with hexane. The oil is then refined, blended for different applications, and sometimes hydrogenated.
  • When was the levy on soybeans introduced in South Africa?
  • The levy on soybeans was introduced on 1 March 2019 and almost immediately after it was implemented, many new cultivars and biotechnology, including drought-tolerant genes (currently being tested locally), became available in South Africa.
