  • 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).
  • How many hectares of soybeans were sown in Pakistan?
  • Despite concerted efforts at various fronts to promote soybean at the national scale, it was sown only on 1619 hectares with a total production of 600 tones, averaging 370 kg ha-1 of yield indicating very poor response from Pakistani farmers (Hussain et al. 1981).
  • Which region is best suited for soybean cultivation in Pakistan?
  • Based on these trials¡¯ vast areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP, formerly NWFP), Punjab and Sindh were found most suitable for commercial cultivation of soybean. However, at the onset of the current century, soybean cultivation was halted, and it gradually disappeared from cropping schemes of Pakistan.
  • What are the shortcomings of soybean cultivation in Pakistan?
  • Less support price of soybean, non-existence of marketing facilities, non-availability of quality seeds, and zone-specific production technology are few amongst many other shortcomings for soybean cultivation in Pakistan (Khurshid et al. 2017).
