  • When was soybean introduced in Pakistan?
  • Soybean was introduced in Pakistan as an oilseed crop during the early 1960s, but its cultivation remained limited until 1970s when adaptability and production trials conducted all over the county yielded promising results.
  • Is soybean a new crop in Pakistan?
  • Soybean is a new addition to the conventional cropping system of Pakistan; hence its cultivation has been unparalleled since its inception in the 1960s. As is evident from the data shown in Fig. 1 and 2, maximum cultivation and accompanying yields are reported on the onset of the current century followed by gradual decline afterward.
  • Why is soybean important in Pakistan?
  • Soybean cultivation in Pakistan was primarily aimed at enhancing the production of edible oil, but it has a little share in domestic production as compared to other oilseed crops including cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and rapeseed (Brassica napus).
  • Why is soybean not accepted in Pakistan?
  • Soybean is considered as a minor crop like other oilseed crops which is another factor of less acceptability among Pakistani farmers (Rehman et al. 2014). This could be attributed to the socio-economic conditions of the farmers, lack of education, and extension services.
