  • What is soya bean used for in Zambia?
  • In Zambia, the soya bean is mostly used as an industrial crop. It is used in oil production and in products such as soya chunks and soya meal. The by-product (cake) is fed directly to animals or processed with other ingredients into animal feed stock.
  • Which region is best for soybean cultivation in Zambia?
  • In Zambia, Region II is the most suitable with a rainfall range of 800-1000 mm annually. The optimum temperature range for soybeans growth and development is 22- 35 C. Very low temperatures, especially during ?owering, will reduce the oil content and yield.

  • How much is a bag of sunflower worth in Zambia?
  • Most farmers prefer to sell their sunflower as seeds and grain rather than process it because they receive sales income immediately. But now that Mrs. Kamuwikeni is adding value to her sunflower harvest, she is making twice the money she used to make. A bag of sunflower weighing 25 kilograms is sold at 150 Zambia Kwacha (about $6.60 US).
