  • What is soybean & its production in Pakistan?
  • Soybean area and production in Pakistan. Soybean is annual oilseed crop of family Leguminosae and mainly grown for edible seeds. It is the most economical source of protein (40%) for human food and animal feed. The seeds also contain 18-22% edible oil and fulfil the demand of food industry.
  • Is soybean a non-conventional crop in Pakistan?
