  • What are the soybean export opportunities in Nigeria?
  • Nigeria offers growing market opportunities for exporters of soybeans, soybean meal, crude soybean oil and value-added soy products and soy-based ingredients. Nigeria’s soybean output is forecast to increase to 510,000 MT in 2011/12, up from 480,000 MT in 2010/11.
  • What is the soybean crushing industry in Nigeria?
  • Eight large processors account for nearly 60 percent of Nigeria’s soybean crushing industry. Industry sources forecast crushing to rise to 271,000 tons in MY2011/12 on account of the anticipated increased soybeans production. Soybeans are crushed to obtain oil (for industrial and refined for food use) and soybean meal/cake for animal feed.
  • 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 soybean production rising in Nigeria?
  • Nigeria’s soybean production is rising steadily spurred by favorable grower prices and sustained high demand for soy meal by the poultry sector over the past five years. Growth in domestic production lags behind rapid growth in demand by the poultry sector, averaging about 25 percent per annum the last five years.
  • 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.
  • When was soybean introduced to Nigeria?
  • In 1908, soybean was introduced to Nigeria and was cultivated as an export crop in a small area in Benue state, where the introduced variety ‘Malayan’ was adopted. The crop is usually grown in smallholdings in mixed cropping with sorghum or maize or as an intercrop in citrus orchards.
