Soya bean Farming in Nigeria

No Commentson Soya bean Farming in NigeriaPosted in AgricultureBy MaxipharoPosted on February 2, 2021

Soya bean farming in Nigeria is yet to be maximized to its full capacity because soybeans farming is loosely operated by small holder farmers who intercrop it with major crops such as maize, beans, cassava etc.

The global demand for this protein-rich crop nears eleven million tonnes and what’s more? Africa’s annual expenditure of soybeans is about 619tons. So it’s important that soybeans farming is encouraged in Nigeria.

Soya bean is a grain legume which is very nutritious and contains on average 40% protein. It can either be used directly for food or processed into soy-milk, cooking oil, infant weaning food and other range of products. It can also be used for feed production due to its high protein content. Soybeans form root nodules which contains bacteria called RHIZOBIA. It is a nitrogen fixing bacteria which forms nitrogen from the air into a form that can be used by soybeans for growth.

Some of the nitrogen are also left behind through falling of leaves and roots which makes the soil more fertile and which is one of the main reasons it is being intercropped with major crops like maize, cassava, beans etc.

Ginger farming as it found amongst the natives of Chinka village in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Nigeria’s ginger exports account for 23 per cent of its GDP. Nigeria had an 11.5% share of global production in 2017, producing 349.9K tons of Ginger. Export growth increased significantly between 2009 and 2010 when the total value of exports increased nearly four times in a year. Economic policies have diversified, with the economy of Nigeria moving from oil exports to agricultural production and exports, a significant driver of the market.

The major challenge facing ginger farmers in Nigeria is the occasional insufficient amount of rainfall. This problem dramatically affects ginger yield. When farmers experience a pause in the rain, they resolve the situation in two ways. The first is by shifting to alternative crops such as sorghum or maize, and the second is by reducing the cultivation of ginger by half or one-third.

There is excellent potential for ginger to become Nigeria’s major export product. Compared to other plants that can produce 20 to 60% on yields in their optimal condition, ginger in Nigeria is provided primarily for the export market, making it more profitable in returns.
