  • Is Zambia self-sufficient in soya bean production?
  • Zambia is largely self-sufficient in soya bean production. According to TBSP (2010), 85% of the supply of soya comes from commercial farmers, characterized by high use of inputs, use of irrigation and relatively high yields of over 2.9 tons per hectare. He further pointed out that only 2% of soya beans supply in 2010 came from imports (TBSP, 2010).
  • Is Soya a profitable crop in Zambia?
  • Abstract: The soya bean production opens doors of opportunities for Zambian farmers. Notably, the climate in Zambia is largely favourable for soya production and the arable land is vast enough to accommodate future expansion. Most importantly, soya is a very profitable crop.
  • Why is Zambia developing an edible oils strategy?
  • The Government of Zambia is facilitating the development of an Edible Oils Strategy to boost national oilseeds production and value addition. Zambia is currently relying on imported edible oils, which are killing the local industry, taking jobs and income from farmers.
  • Where are soya beans grown in Zambia?
