  • Who is okeba Uganda Limited?
  • Okeba Uganda Limited is one of the partners working in the soybean value chain in the districts of Mubende, Kakumiro, Kyegegwa and Kyenjojo. The company met resistance from farmers when they first tried to introduce soybean as a climate-resilient crop. Most of the farmers cited production challenges and lack of a sustainable market.
  • Why is Africa a small player in the soybean industry?
  • Africa is a minor player in the soybean industry as it supplies less than 1% of the world¡¯s soybeans. Because the crop is not for direct household consumption, it is produced on a small-scale and treated as a zero inputs crop. This has resulted in a persistent yield gap, with levels reaching only a third of those obtained in developed countries.
