  • Why is soybean production increasing in Malaw i?
  • Soybean production in Malaw i has had a sudden boost in the past 3-4 years as the global and local demand has continued to rise because of the versatility of these beans. Malawi is among the top 40 producers of soybean in the world according to Malawi Investment and Trade Centre. Soybean is rich in protein, vegetable oil and essential minerals.
  • Where are soybeans grown in Malawi?
  • In Malawi soybean producing districts are concentrated in the Plateaus. Kasungu, Lilongwe and Mzuzu are reported to be biggest producers of soybeans with high hectarage. Malawi is among the top 40 producers of soybean. In 2010 Malawi’s share of soybean production accounted for 5% of Africa’s total production of the crop.
  • What is the soya bean industry in Malawi?
  • As a result, over 80 percent of soya beans produced in Malawi are now being used locally, with only between 10 and 20 percent being exported to the regional markets. The soya bean industry, therefore, presents appetising opportunities for farmers, with even more prospects for growth as an industry.
  • Why is Soyabean oil not produced in Malawi?
  • The lack of interest by the oil manufactures in soyabean oil was related to the limited recovery. Soyabeans has about 20% oil. With normal pressing or extruding methods currently used in Malawi for manufacturing oil there is normally about 10% residual oil in the cake. Thus soyabeans would yield only about 10% oil.
