  • Do we need a mechanisation system for soyabean harvesting?
  • There is need to develop mechanisation systems for soyabean harvesting that meet the above definition. Soya bean (Glycine max) is one of the main oil seeds produced in Zimbabwe. However, Soyabean production has faced harvesting challenges especially among the medium scale famers who are poorly mechanised.
  • Should small-scale farmers grow soybeans in Africa?
  • Small-scale farmers in Africa could earn a lot of benefits from growing soybeans as soy constitutes one of the largest sources of vegetable oil and animal protein feed in the world (Sugiyama et al., 2015).
  • How do you harvest soya beans in Zimbabwe?
  • Harvesting Methods Used In Zimbabwe 1.5.1.1 Small Holder Practises Practises Traditionally, soya bean harvesting involves the cutting of the crop from the field with hand sickles and knives and the transportation of cut plants to the homestead in animal drawn carts (capacity 500kg) or head baskets.
  • What is the future of soybean production in Africa?
  • Soybean production is expected to dominate in the future in Africa due to its cash crop value from oil extraction and animal feed. Governmental and agro©industries can help provide the required economic opportunities through improved soybean©based supply chains involving consumers and producers.
  • Could soybean production be the bedrock of Africa's food supply?
  • Moreover, in rotation with cereals such as maize and sorghum, soybean production has the potential to provide the bedrock of food and feed supply across Africa.
  • How many tons of soybeans are produced a year?
  • Masuda and Goldsmith (2009) estimated that the yearly production of soybean will be at 2.2% and approach a yearly production of 371.3 million tons by 2030. Also, Masuda and Goldsmith projected that the production and area harvested of soybean worldwide is going to increase due to the increasing demand for soybean products.
