Shortage of soybeans for poultry feed
Meanwhile, Nigeria faces a severe soybean shortage. A 100kg bag of soybeans has risen to N24,000 from N12,000 a year ago. Added to this dire situation for poultry farmers is the scarcity of this chicken feed ingredient in the country, which follows reports of a shortage of maize. According to Onallo Akpa, DG of the Poultry Association of Nigeria, many poultry farms are closing because of the high costs of feed. “It is affecting the industry negatively as soybean and maize constitute almost 80% of raw materials in feed production, and now soybeans and maize are in short supply,” he said. In Nigeria, popular substitutes for soybeans include groundnut cake, cotton-seed cake, and palm kernel cake, however, soybeans are the most preferred because of their high digestibility attribute,

An agriculturist and a soybean farmer, noted that a shortage of soybeans has resulted following poor rainfall last year, which resulted in a low yield. He forecast that the price would continue to climb because “peasant farmers appear to be the chief producers now and the little they are growing are sold to neighbouring countries.

Brief Product Description:

The soybean or soya bean is a species of legume native to East Asia, widely grown for its edible bean which has numerous uses. The plant is classed as an oilseed rather than a pulse by the UN Food and Agricultural Organization. Soyabeans occur in various sizes, and in many huller seed coat colors, including black, brown, blue, yellow, green and mottled. The hull of the mature bean is hard, water-resistant, and protects the cotyledon and hypocotyls (or “germ”) from damage.
