  • Why is soybean important in Tanzania?
  • The value chain Soybean is, and always has been, a minor crop in Tanzania. It contributes, nonetheless, to national and household food supplies and incomes, adds diversity to arable production systems, and (as a legume) fixes nitrogen thereby improving soil fertility and structure.
  • What percentage of soybeans are produced in Tanzania?
  • Soybean production in Tanzania is overwhelmingly the domain of small-scale traditional producers, and it is commonly estimated that up to 99 percent of soybeans derive from the traditional sector.
  • Is Soya a good food for Tanzania?
  • To date, the international donor community has shown little interest in promoting soybeans as a food in Tanzania. The outstanding exceptions to this have been the World Food Programme (WFP) and Save the Children, which have both used soya in their feeding programmes.
  • Why are soya yields so low in Tanzania?
  • Yields are also curtailed (both on small and large-scale farms) by the limited availability of quality seeds and the absence of adapted varieties (only two varieties are officially certified for use in Tanzania). The Southern Highlands are the foci of most soya cultivation.
