Trends, Opportunities, and Challenges of the Ethiopian
Over the past two decades, Ethiopia’s soybean production has grown quickly due to an increase in the area planted particularly in commercial farms which are few but contribute about half of total soybean production and advancement in technology and practice contributed a lot for production increment . In Ethiopia, majority of soybean
In the order of Pawe-02, Pawe-01 and Pawe-03 constitutes important traits including high oil content (23%), protein content (42%) and high canopy coverage (to regulate soil fertility) (MoANR, 2016).
Production and Marketing Trends of Soy Bean in Ethiopia
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
Soybean Production, Yield and Areal Coverage Source: Computed from Table 1 The growth trend of production of Soya Bean in Ethiopia shows up and down movement during last ten years. This may be because of market problem of the crop, processing problem and unavailability of drought resistant and high yield crop varieties.
Quantifying Potential Yield and Yield Gaps of Soybean Using
In the past, much of the emphasis on soybean research in Ethiopia has been on the development and testing of new varieties and classical agronomic trials with limited use of crop models that help in estimating the potential yield and yield gaps, and identifying the most important barriers of achieving optimal yield. CROPGRO-soybean model is an important tool for estimating the potential yield

Empirical Review of Production, Productivity
Source: Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia. In spite of the importance of the crop and efforts made to enhance its production, the. productivity of soybean on farmer’s field has been low i.e
Farmers need to be linked with soy bean processing factories as a result market is secured for farmers to become interested to engage in soy bean production. Promote soy production and processing among small holders, engaged in subsistence farming, for food security purposes. DOI: 10.7176/JMCR/59-02.

Ethiopia with almost 80 million inhabitants is a large market for edible oil. The combination of a growing GDP with an annually population growth of 2.6% makes it even more relevant that the availability of good quality oil, such as soybean and sunflower oil, is improved.
- 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.
- 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
- Where do Ethiopian farmers grow soybeans?
- In the Jimma zone, part of southwest Ethiopia, where rainfed agriculture is common, farmers produce soybean under low input and poor crop management conditions.
- Why is soybean a bottleneck in Ethiopia?
- In northeastern Ethiopia, soybean [Glycine max (L) Merril] is one of the most important legume crops. However, one of the manufacturing bottlenecks is the lack of high-quality seeds. Quality seed production necessitates the development of seeds from improved types under optimal growth conditions and storage for the shortest time possible.
- Can cropgro-soybean model help improve production of soybean in Ethiopia?
- In conclusion, the CROPGRO-soybean model can serve as a useful tool for quantifying the potential yield, yield gaps and the possible causes of the yield losses, which guides designing suitable strategies for better production of soybean in Ethiopia.
