  • Is there a limiting factor to optimum soybean production in Nigeria?
  • America¡¯s soybean yield of about 3.4 tones/ hectares in 2018 implies a huge yield gap in Nigeria¡¯s production due to several contributing factors. Therefore, studies to under- stand the limiting factors to optimum soybean production are ongoing as means of attaining yield potential of above 2.5 tones/ha. Smallholder farmers dominate soybean pro-
  • How has IITA boosted Nigeria’s soybean production?
  • of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) has boosted Nigeria¡¯s soy- bean production since around 1974 to about 758,033 tones (1.0 ton/hectare) from 780,679 hectares in 2018 (Nzossié and Bring, 2020). The study was conducted to provide a solution to the challenges of soybean production using the available cultivars cultivated in Nigeria.
  • How is soybean oil extracted?
  • Two common soybean oil production processes are solvent extraction (chemical) and mechanical extraction using a screw press. The most conventional method is to extract oil by mechanical oil processing machines. The oil obtained from screw press, known as crude oil, usually undergoes a filtration process before being consumed as food.
  • How many tons of soybeans were exported from Nigeria in 1947?
  • A total of about 9 tons of soybean were initially exported from Nige- ria by 1947 from cultivation in Benue, Zaria, and Katsina (Shurtleff and Aoyagi, 2021). The Tiv Division of Benue Province was the main production area with about 10.5 tons and 700 tons of soybean in 1946 and 1948 respec- tively. Subsequently, Nigeria¡¯s soybean exportation rose
