  • What is the refining process for soybean oil?
  • In the U.S.A. and in Europe, for soybean oil refining, the caustic soybean oil refining process is by far the most used. The physical refining of palm oil, lauric oils and other fats and oils that have a low phosphatide content by dry degumming and bleaching followed by distillation, deodorization, is 20 to 25 years old and common practice today.
  • How much soy is needed for cooking oil production in Zimbabwe?
  • Zimbabwe requires up to 750 000 tonnes of soyabeans per year for cooking oil production to attain self-sufficiency, which translates to at least 350 000 hectares of land for cultivation. Stockfeed alone consumes about 240 000 tonnes of soyabean per year. Read the original article on The Herald.
  • Where does Zimbabwe import soybean oil?
  • According to the United Nations Comtrade, Zimbabwe's imports of soybean oil and its fractions, from South Africa, stood at US$69,03 million in 2020. While South Africa is the largest supplier of soyabean and its fractions to Zimbabwe, a significant portion of raw materials also comes from Argentina, Mauritius, Brazil, Korea Zambia, and China.
  • Who will benefit from Zimbabwe's soya-bean oil programme?
  • Collective farming schemes and individual farmers are expected to benefit under the programme. Soya-bean oil and its fractions are one of Zimbabwe's major imports, having gobbled $ 128 million in 2020, which was $ 56 million higher than the $72 million spent in 2019, accounting for 2,54 percent of total import into Zimbabwe.
  • Will locally produced soyabean reduce the demand for imported crude degummed soya bean oil (cdsbo)?
  • Having locally produced soyabean will shrink the demand for imported crude degummed soya bean oil (CDSBO), which will in turn lower the amount of foreign currency used to purchase cooking oil raw material.
  • Does Zimbabwe still produce soya beans?
  • According to ZimStats data, Zimbabwe managed to harvest 71 290 tonnes in the 2020 - 21 soyabean production from a national hectarage of 46 158 and Zimbabwe still imports huge quantities of soya beans, due to low levels of production.
