  • Is soybean a viable export agro-ecological crop in Malawi?
  • Domestic demand for soybean by the processing agro-industries (growing poultry and fish industries), is high. Thus soybean has a ready domestic and export market that is not fully exploited. Agronomic studies on soybean have shown that the crop is well adapted for production in all agro-ecological zones in Malawi.
  • What are the soybean yields in Malawi agro-ecological zones?
  • agro-ecological zones in Malawi. However, soybean yields are still low as farmers obtain 800 kg/ha on average against the potential yield of 2000-2500 kg/ha. Development and promo- 6 years, has signicantly enhanced productivity from 600kg/ha to 800kg/ha (See Figure 1).
  • Why is soybean important in Malawi?
  • Soybean is one of the most important crops in Malawi. It is a versatile grain legume because it has a variety of uses. Soybean is rich in protein, vegetable oil and essential minerals. This crop has the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and therefore, improves soil fertility.
  • Where does soybean grow in Malawi?
  • The Plateau repre-sents three quarters of Malawi at elevations of 750-1300 masl. Although the major soy-bean production districts are concentrated in the plateau, soybean virtually grows well in all agricultural development divisions.
