Soybean Production, Constraints, and Future

  • What is the average production of soybeans in South Africa?
  • On average, Table 1 shows an increasing trend in the production of soybeans in the major producing regions of the country. Soybean production in the Republic of South Africa on average ranges between 400 000 and 560 000 tons per annum at an average yield of 1.7 to 2 tons per hectare under dry land conditions.
  • Should South Africa produce its own soybeans?
  • and 3 290 000 tons per annum. Current soybean production is 566 000 ton per annum. Ideally South Africa should do its own processing of soybeans given that the potential to do so exists. This is especially important in light of the fact that soybean meal is currently one of South Africa’s largest agricultural import products.
  • 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.
  • Which countries produce the most soybeans in Africa?
  • In 2016, South Africa (2290 kg ha −1) and Zambia (1940 kg ha −1) had the highest average yields, followed by Nigeria (960 kg ha −1) and Uganda (600 kg ha −1) in SSA. During the last two decades, Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda have maintained their positions as leading soybean-producing countries in the region.
