  • Why is soybean production low in Ghana?
  • Northern Ghana produces approximately 96 percent of the country's soybean but average yields remain low, at around 3 tonnes per hectare. This is attributed to poor land development, limited availability and access to inputs such as fertilizer, and poor soil fertility. The Support to Soybean
  • How many soyabean grain processing companies are there in Ghana?
  • There are 12 major soyabean grain processing companies in Ghana with capacity to process about 170,120 Mt per year. Two of the companies (Ghana Nuts with 60,000 Mt, and Vestor Oil 24,000 Mt) have solvent extractors, with combined annual solvent extraction capacity of 84,400 Mt (see Table 1).
  • Can Ghana be self-sufficient in soyabean production?
  • With support from the government, development partners and input and output market players through a PPP arrangement, Ghana can be self-sufficient in soyabean production with opportunity for exporting soyabean to niche markets in Europe and Asia.
  • What is the support to soybean development programme in Ghana?
  • The Support to Soybean Development Programme in Ghana will transform the soybean industry, ensuring increased productivity, improved livelihoods for smallholder farmers, and enhanced food and nutrition security.
  • How much soyabean is used in Ghana?
  • The current locally produced soyabean grain usage in Ghana is 170,000 Mt per year and equal to the current production level estimates by MoFA (2017). Besides this, nearly 15, 000 Mt of grains is imported by 4 of the major processing companies which accounts for about 9% of the total usage.
  • Which soyabean varieties are best suited for Northern Ghana?
  • N2Africa has identified the best suited soyabean varieties which are non-shattering, drought and disease tolerant, and effective rhizobium inoculants for northern Ghana. Due to the lack of a suitable fertilizer blend for legumes, Yara has developed and tested a crop nutrition solution for soyabean.
