  • What challenges does soybean production face in Africa?
  • Production of soybean in Africa faces several challenges. These challenges include: Agricultural advisory services - At present, the extension staff-farmer ratio in most African countries is lower than 1:1000 against the international recommendation of 1:400. For countries like Mozambique this ratio is lower than 1:10,000 (Abate et al., 2011).
  • Are there opportunities for boosting soybean production in SSA?
  • We conclude that there are opportunities for boosting soybean production in SSA to ensure enhanced food/nutrition security and household incomes. Improved production requires use of good quality seeds, fertilizers, inoculum and appropriate advisory services.
  • How much does soybean yield increase in Africa?
  • The yields of soybean in most parts of Africa can increase from 0.5 to 2.5 tons ha-1 if the recommended steps are followed during their production. In most cases when soybean yields exceed 1.2 ton ha-1, farmers are likely to make profits but at less than 0.7 tons/ha farmers may not be able to recoup the cost of production.
  • Why is soybean production important?
  • Soybean production presents a great potential for improving livelihoods of these resource constrained farmers as it can grow well with limited fertilizers, fix N that can boost production of associated cereals and its market value and demands are high.
