Soybean yield variability in Northern Ghana: Effects

  • 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).
  • Why is soybean production so low in Ghana?
  • Growing the soybean sector in Ghana Northern Ghana produces approximately 96 percent of the country's soybean but average yields remain low, at around 3 tonnes per hectare. This is attributed to poor land development, limited availability and access to inputs such as fertilizer, and poor soil fertility.
  • Does solvent extraction reduce -tocopherol in soybean oil?
  • Kania et al. (2004) reported that solvent extraction of soybean oil yielded higher total tocopherols content (1448 mg/kg) than cold pressing (1358 mg/kg), and the refining process led to the loss of α-tocopherol by 37%, β-tocopherol by 56%, γ-tocopherol by 17%, and δ-tocopherol by 34% in solvent-extracted soybean oil.
  • How governmental projects are promoting soybean production in northern Ghana?
  • As a result, many governmental projects such as the Women in Agricultural Development (WIAD) of MoFA and other NGOs, including MEDA-GROW have been promoting the production and utilization of soybean in northern Ghana to improve the nutritional status of rural farm families.
