Soybean Research and Development in Ethiopia
In Ethiopia, soybean has been cultivated since 1950s expanding into different agro-ecologies accompanied by increasing domestic demand as food and feed yet with low grain yield (Hailu and Kelemu

Alternate solvent for soybean oil extraction based on
The extract yield of crude soybean oil when hexane was used as solvent was 21.5%, closer to the evaluated value (21.6%) with petroleum ether (Method Ac 3–44, AOCS 2017), while the alternate solvents resulted in 3.4–7.7% higher extract yield (22.3–23.2%). To estimate the total extractability of soybean, a sequential extraction was
The second growth and transformation plan (GTP, II) for the period 2014/15-2019/20 therefore has aimed to increase soybean production from 0.72 million quintals in 2015 to 1.2 million quintals by
Redesigning soybean with improved oil and meal traits - Springer
Key Message Soybean seed oil and meal composition traits can be combined without interference to provide additional value to the crop. Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is an important crop worldwide; its overall value comes from seed oil and high protein meal. The development of soybean varieties with allele combinations for improved oil and meal quality is expected to provide a
Abstract and Figures. This review investigates the status and trends of production and marketing of soy bean in Ethiopia. The high production record was obtained in 2015/16 production season
Recent advances in green soybean oil extraction: A review
According to USDA [1], the production of soybeans worldwide in 2020/2021 was about 360,000 thousand metric tons. The soybean seeds are mainly destined for protein, edible oil, and biodiesel production. The main components of the seeds are proteins (40 wt%), lipids (20 wt%), carbohydrates (15 wt%), and ashes (5 wt%).
This review investigates the status and trends of production and marketing of soy bean in Ethiopia. The high production record was obtained in 2015/16 production season, which is 81241.833 ton. But high yield (22 quintals per hectare) or (2.2 ton per hectare) was obtained during 2017 production season. Area covered by the
Whole soybean protein extraction processes: A review
We propose that this high moisture content is responsible for most of the protein losses during whole soybean extraction, especially as the amount of okara produced is quite high. It is about two times more in weight than hulled soybeans in a process similar to the one shown in Fig. 6 , and for tofu production a soybean/okara ratio of 1:1.2 (w
The hypothetical protein and oil production per plant or plot, calculated by multiplying protein or oil content by grain yield per plant or plot, are therefore both increased (13.96–33.61%
- Why is Ethiopia a good producer of soybeans?
- Suitable agro ecology and tremendous soybean potential of Ethiopia is the key to produce the crop in large-scale and maintaining a steady supply on the market. Although its demand rises quickly for export and local processing, the current production status is much below the market demand.
- Why is soybean yield so low in Ethiopia?
- Although the average yield of soybean has recently increased in Ethiopia to 2 t/ha, it is still below the world average of 2.35 t/ha (Abate et al. 2012) which may be related to soil constraints and management of the crop.
- How many soybeans are produced in Ethiopia?
- The Ethiopian CSA (2019) also reported the production of the crop on 64,720.12 ... ... An early maturing soybean cultivar (Jalele), which also showed well nodulation and growth under greenhouse conditions, was selected principally due to inconsistency in the duration of rainy season.
- Why does Ethiopia import so much soybean oil a year?
- Ethiopia only has one plant for the production of soybean oil, thus it must import vast quantities of byproducts of soybean oil and other products every year to meet domestic demand. 7. Recommendations
