  • Will a large-scale oil extraction plant increase the demand for soybeans?
  • A large-scale investment in a soybean oil extraction plant (now under construction in Rwanda), with a capacity of 36 000 tonnes of oil per year, is expected to further increase the demand for soybean in the region (Rusike et al ., 2013 ).
  • Why is the area under soybean production increasing?
  • The area under soybean production has increased in response to the growing demand, a trend that is expected to continue in the coming years. As the production area increases, diseases and insect pests, declining soil fertility and other abiotic factors pose a major challenge.
  • How will soybean production change in Africa?
  • Soybean production will continue to increase in eastern and southern Africa, driven by an increased production per acre and an expansion of the production area, especially through increased intercropping and crop rotation.
  • How much soybean is produced in Africa?
  • Soybean production in Africa occupies 1·3% of the total world area under soybean production representing 0·6% of the total production. In 2011, soybean was planted on 1·1 million ha of land in SSA, which is approximately 1% of the total arable land.
