  • Is soybean a good crop in Malawi?
  • In Malawi, soybean is well adapted for production in all agro-ecological zones (Kananji et al., 2013). However, soybean yields are still low, as smallholders obtain 29.4 -36.7 bushels per hectare on average (Malawi Soybean Outlook, 2016). …
  • Is rapeseed meal better than soybean meal?
  • Compared with soybean meal (the benchmark), rapeseed meal has both lower protein content and lower digestibility. However, it still has an excellent feeding value, due to the relatively high content in methionine and lysine, and a good balance in essential amino acids ( Classen et al., 2002 ).
  • What is the soy yield in Malawi?
  • While soy yield globally is 4,000 kg per hectare, in Malawi an average farmer harvests a mere 800 kg for the same land size. Lack of quality seed and limited varieties are major challenges facing the value chain. Malawi has only three soy varieties: Nasoko, Tikolole, and Makwacha.
  • Should rice bran be stabilized after production?
  • It is advised to stabilize rice bran or RBO immediately upon production. High FFA results in high refining loss, therefore, it is beneficial to have FFA level of less than 5% in the crude RBO, and exceeding amount of FFA (> 10%) is unfit for human consumption ( Orthoefer and Eastman, 2005 ).
