• Is soybean a commercial crop in Sub-Saharan Africa?
  • Soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is a non-native and non-staple crop in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with potential to be a commercial crop owing to its wide range of uses as food, feed, and industrial raw material.
  • Does soybean production have a bright future in Africa?
  • The author argues that soybean production has a bright future in Africa due to the emerging and increasing demand for soybean oil and feed for livestock by the middle class. However, Africa continues to rely on the investment of largely resource?poor smallholders for the majority of crop production.
  • Is soybean a non-staple crop in Africa?

Although it is a non-staple crop in Africa, it has the potential to become a commercial crop owing to its wide range of uses as food, feed, and industrial raw material.
