  • How is soybean grown in Zambia?
  • In Zambia, it is grown by both commercial and small-scale farmers. Besides its uses given above, soybean contributes to improving the fertility of the soil. The crop fixes atmospheric nitrogen into the soil due to the presence of the bacteria Rhizobium in its root nodules. The soybean crop is recommended to be grown in rotation with cereals.
  • How many tonnes of soya beans did Zambia buy in 2019?
  • Zambia purchased 350 tonnes of soya beans in 2019. The production of soya beans in Zambia was 844,167 tonnes in 2019 and is predicted to change by an average of -7.05%. The country had an estimated 588,861.00 hectares under soya beans cultivation.
  • Why is Soya a profitable crop in Zambia?
  • The soya bean production opens doors of opportunities for Zambian farmers. Notably, the climate in Zambia is largely favourable for soya production and the arable land is vast enough to accommodate future expansion. Most importantly, soya is a very profitable crop.
  • Is zamanita a good supplier of soybean meal?
  • Zamanita is a major supplier of soybean meal to various companies in the animal feeds industry in Zambia. Soybean meal is very high in protein and is mostly used as a protein supplement in animal feeds and diets for pigs, poultry, horses and ruminants with excellent results. It is also a good source of amino acids as well as energy for animals.
  • Who is zamanita oil?
  • Part of the Export Trading Group (ETG), Zamanita is one of Zambia’s largest edible oil and soybean meal producers. The company serves the domestic and export markets as well as sells into the domestic refined oils market.
  • How does zamanita help farmers in Zambia?
  • Most farmers in Zambia face challenges to sell their produce. As a reliable commodity buyer, Zamanita offers a ready market for groundnuts, sunflower and soya beans to farmers, especially those into small-scale farming. This has encouraged farmers to grow more and has also helped them increase their agricultural capacity.
