PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING OF SOYA

  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Where do soya beans come from in Ghana?
  • Around 90 percent of soya bean traded in Ghana is procured from the north, while the middle-belt accounts for 10 percent (Martey et al. 2020). Figure 1 shows recent trends in soya bean production, yield, and area cultivated. Compared to the preceding years, yields have seemingly not increased significantly with the introduction of PFJ in 2017.
