SOYABEANS
Soyabeans
Soyabeans are one of the important food legume crops grown in Zambia by both commercial and small scale farmers. Soyabeans have the highest concentration and the most balanced quality of protein amongst food legumes crops. The soyabean oil is also an important source of cooking oil and the cake, left after extraction, is a valuable animal feed. Soyabeans are an excellent rotational crop with cereals.
