  • What is soybean used for in Nigeria?
  • Soybeans are now widely consumed and are readily used in the production of soymilk, soy cake, soy yogurt and the fortification of local carbohydrate-based Nigerian food staples. Dawadawa, a local food seasoning, is also produced from soybeans.
  • What is the average soybean yield in Nigeria?
  • The average yield during harvest lingers around 1.2 metric tons per hectare. Nigeria’s soybeans trade has emerged in a lot of complexity. Year on year, there’s a continuous local shortfall in production. Yet, exportation of the legume crop seems to be on the rise.
  • What are the major producers of soybeans in Nigeria?
  • Kaduna, Katsina, and Benue are the largest producers of the crop while other states like Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Bauchi, and Zamfara are also major producers. Although market opportunities exist in Nigeria for soybeans sales and export, the level of participation by local farmers is still relatively abysmal.
  • How is soybean oil extracted?
  • Two common soybean oil production processes are solvent extraction (chemical) and mechanical extraction using a screw press. The most conventional method is to extract oil by mechanical oil processing machines. The oil obtained from screw press, known as crude oil, usually undergoes a filtration process before being consumed as food.
  • Why is automatic soybean oil processing plant necessary?
  • Automatic soybean oil processing plant is necessary because of the low efficiency of the oil extracted by hand operated machines.
  • Is soybean oil better than palm oil?
  • The soybean, also called soyabean, widely cultivated commercial field crops grown in USA, Brazil, Argentina, China, india, Uruguay, Ukraine, Bolivia, Nigeria, South Africa. Soybean oil consumption is growing faster than that of palm oil because of its abundant fatty acid composition.
