  • Where is soybean produced in South Africa?
  • Production perspective Soybean is produced throughout the country, but significant production takes place in the Free State and Mpumalanga provinces. South African soybean production has always varied throughout the years, but mostly above the domestic demand (see Graph 1 ).
  • Does soybean production have a bright future in Africa?
  • The author argues that soybean production has a bright future in Africa due to the emerging and increasing demand for soybean oil and feed for livestock by the middle class. However, Africa continues to rely on the investment of largely resource©poor smallholders for the majority of crop production.
  • Which countries export soybean oil to South Africa?
  • The leading soybean oil suppliers to South Africa are Spain with a share of 44% (75 679 tons), Argentina with a share of 27% (46 727 ton), the Netherlands with a share of 21% (35 969 tons), Romania with a share of 4% (6 493 tons) and Brazil with a share of 3% (5 517 tons). South Africa also exports soybean oil to the African markets.
  • Is there a future for soy production in South Africa?
  • Another opportunity for exploring soy production lies in the ever-increasing demand for soybean cake for animal feed, as a consequence of the growth in the middle©class population in South Africa and other neighbouring countries (Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy, 2017 ).
