  • Is Soya a profitable crop in Zambia?
  • Abstract: The soya bean production opens doors of opportunities for Zambian farmers. Notably, the climate in Zambia is largely favourable for soya production and the arable land is vast enough to accommodate future expansion. Most importantly, soya is a very profitable crop.
  • What is Soya used for in Zambia?
  • In Zambia, the soya beans are mostly used as industrial product. The by- product (cake) is fed directly to animals or processed with other ingredients into animal feed-stock. As animal- feed, soya by-products provide relatively low cost, high- quality protein to feed rations.
  • Is Zambia self-sufficient in soya bean production?
  • Zambia is largely self-sufficient in soya bean production. According to TBSP (2010), 85% of the supply of soya comes from commercial farmers, characterized by high use of inputs, use of irrigation and relatively high yields of over 2.9 tons per hectare. He further pointed out that only 2% of soya beans supply in 2010 came from imports (TBSP, 2010).
  • Where are soya beans grown in Zambia?
  • Research has indicated that soya beans are cultivated in nearly all the parts of Zambia, but mainly in the Eastern, Central and Northern Provinces. According to Lubungu et al. (2013:13) from 2001 to 2010 the Eastern province was responsible for 42% of the soya beans produced in Zambia.
