  • Why is soyabean important in Zimbabwe?
  • Soyabean is one of the most common crops with multiple benefits to the farmer, the industry and the economy. However, current demand for soyabean in Zimbabwe far outstrips supply, opening opportunities for farmers and the industry to plug in the disparities. Soyabean crop is used as an affordable source of protein for livestock feeds.
  • Which countries have a potential for soybean production & use?
  • South Africa and Nigeria offer the best examples in SSA of the potential for soybean production and use. Soybean production has increased dramatically, from 84,000 t in 1987 to 1,320,000 t in 2016 in South Africa and from 40,000 t in 1987 to 680,000 t in 2016 in Nigeria ( Fig. 2 ). Fig. 1.
  • What causes low soybean yield in South Africa?
  • The low soybean yield in SSA can be attributed to the use of poor-performing varieties and to the limited application of fertilizers and rhizobial inoculants in soils with no history of soybean production. South Africa, Nigeria, Zambia, and Uganda are the leading soybean producers in SSA.
  • How does poor crop management affect tropical soybean production in SSA?
  • Despite the progress that has been made in genetic improvement of tropical soybean yield in SSA, poor crop management practices and low soil fertility have constrained successful and sustainable tropical soybean production in smallholder farming systems of SSA.
