  • How many tons of soybeans are produced in South Africa?
  • The bulk of South Africa’s soybean production is processed into oil and oil cake, with 1 047 603 tons being processed during the 2019/2020 season in comparison with 867 272 tons during the 2018/2019, when production was in some of the major soybean production regions because of drought conditions.
  • Where is Soya Bean produced in South Africa?
  • Initially, soya bean production was limited to Bapsfontein and the northerly Lowveld areas, but gradually it became important in rotation with wheat in irrigation areas. Soya bean production in South Africa currently ranges from 450 000 to 500 000 tons per annum at an average yield of 2, 5 to 3 t/ha under dry-land conditions.
  • When were soybeans first grown in South Africa?
  • The first soybean trials in South Africa were done with seed imported from China in 1903, at the Cedara Research Station near Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal. Production, however, was quite disappointing due to poor seed germination, the plants developing too fast and the seeds shattering before they could be harvested.
  • Which country produces the most soybeans in Africa?
  • South Africa is the biggest soybean producer in Africa. Soybeans are produced as a rotational crop in the summer rainfall areas of South Africa. The first soybean trials in South Africa were done with seed imported from China in 1903, at the Cedara Research Station near Pietermaritzburg in KwaZulu-Natal.
