Unlocking the true potential of soybean farming in Ghana
A ground-breaking initiative aimed at enhancing Ghana's soybean production and addressing food and nutrition security challenges was launched today at an event attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Hon. Dr Bryan Acheampong, the Ambassador of Japan, H.E. Mochizuki Hisanobu, FAO Representative in Ghana, Yurdi Yasmi and key stakeholders. The initiative is funded by the Government of
On the demand-side there is a thriving market for soya bean in Ghana, with domestic demand consistently outstripping domestic supply (Martey et al. 2020). Soya bean is a key ingredient in poultry and fish feed and is also used in the production of edible vegetable oil. Soya bean production is also being promoted in rural areas as a nutritious
Soybean yield variability in Northern Ghana: Effects
Materials. Improved seeds of Tropical Glycine max (TGx) soybean variety (CSIR-Favour) from the CSIR-Savanna Agricultural Research Institute (SARI) of Ghana were used. The CSIR's grain legumes program developed the variety, and it has a yield potential of 2 to 3.5 tons ha −1, the CSIR-Favour variety belongs to the late maturity group (115 to 118 days).
Oilseeds are crucial for the nutritional security of the global population. The conventional technology used for oil extraction from oilseeds is by solvent extraction. In solvent extraction, n-hexane is used as a solvent for its attributes such as simple recovery, non-polar nature, low latent heat of vaporization (330 kJ/kg) and high selectivity to solvents. However, usage of hexane as a

Abstract. Soybeans are the dominant oilseed in both U.S. and world markets. During a typical year soybean production comprises over half the worldwide oilseed production ( Anonymous 1995 ). However, according to Dutton (1981) in the early 1940s, soybean oil was considered a poor quality oil, not suitable for food use, and more appropriate for
Consequently, various soybean-sector initiatives including the Mennonites Economic Development Associates–Greater Rural Opportunities for Women (MEDA-GROW) and Northern Rural Growth Program (NRGP) [17] were commissioned to improve soybean production in northern Ghana for higher economic welfare of rural farm households, particularly women
Lyon Agro - Ghana's Premier Soybean Processor
Quality Organic Soya Products From Ghana. Lyon Agro is Ghana’s premier producer of organic soybean derivatives. Using organic and deforestation-free soybeans, our expeller-pressed soybean meal and triple-filtered oil products are processed in compliance with UFAS regulations, making them best-in-class. Since our inception in 2022, we
The extraction of soybean oil and free fatty acids was evaluated using ethanol with different hydration levels (from anhydrous to 5.98 wt%) by Toda et al. [29]. It was found that the increase in water content suppresses soybean oil extraction and increases the free fatty acids content.
- What is Ghana’s soybean production potential?
- Ghana’s soybean production potential stands at an impressive 700,000 tonnes per year. However, only about 26 percent of this potential is being realized. The cultivation area covers an estimated 102,000 hectares of the 250,000 hectares of land suitable for production countrywide.
- What is Ghana doing to improve soybean production?
- A ground-breaking initiative aimed at enhancing Ghana’s soybean production and addressing food and nutrition security challenges was launched today at an event attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Hon. Dr Bryan Acheampong, the Ambassador of Japan, H.E. Mochizuki Hisanobu, FAO Representative in Ghana, Yurdi Yasmi and key stakeholders.
- How many soyabean grain processing companies are there in Ghana?
- There are 12 major soyabean grain processing companies in Ghana with capacity to process about 170,120 Mt per year. Two of the companies (Ghana Nuts with 60,000 Mt, and Vestor Oil 24,000 Mt) have solvent extractors, with combined annual solvent extraction capacity of 84,400 Mt (see Table 1).
- How much soyabean is used in Ghana?
- The current locally produced soyabean grain usage in Ghana is 170,000 Mt per year and equal to the current production level estimates by MoFA (2017). Besides this, nearly 15, 000 Mt of grains is imported by 4 of the major processing companies which accounts for about 9% of the total usage.
