SOYBEAN RESEARCH IN UGANDA * BY Bernard Bashaasha
a) Historical Perspective. Soybean was introduced in Uganda between 1908 and 1913. However, serious production did not occur until 1940's when, due to a war time demand from Britain, cultivation reached 14,000, 16,000 hectares. In 1950 Soybean
What you need to know: Uganda has a variety of oil seeds including sunflower, cottonseed, groundnuts, sesame seed and soybean which can be used in operating an oil seed extraction plant, Dorothy
History, current status, and prospects of soybean production and research in sub-Saharan Africa
Since the value of soybean as a high-protein food source has been recognized, the utilization and consumption of soybean-based foods are becoming popular in SSA [12].Food products such as nshima, also called bidia, dawadawa, mahewu, soy-ogi (fortifying maize with soybean), soy kebab (spicy tofu), biscuits, soy flour, soy yogurt, and soymilk have been accepted by local people in many SSA
In SSA the average yield has also remained very low at 1.1 t ha−1 in the past four decades; this is below the world average of 2.4 t ha−1. For instance, the average soybean yields in 2016/2017 in South Africa, Nigeria, Zambia, and Uganda was 2.29, 0.96, 1.94 and 0.6 t ha−1 respectively (Khojely, 2018).

The world soybean production was projected at 311.1 million metric tons in 2020 and 371.3 million metric tons in 2030. The annual growth rates are 2.9% from 2005–07 to 2010 and were projected to be 2.5% from 2010 to 2020, and 1.8% from 2020 to 2030.
The major soybean producing countries by area are the USA, Brazil, Argentina, China, India, and Paraguay. India ranks fourth in terms of area and fifth in the production of soybean in the world
High yielding Soybean varieties transform agricultural sector in Uganda, Makerere University News
Makerere University through the Centre for Soybean Improvement and Development has developed six high yielding–rust resistant soybean varieties (Namsoy 4M, Maksoy 1N, 2N, 3N, 4N and 5N). Recent impact studies indicated that over 90% of the soybean varieties grown in Uganda are developed by Makerere University (Obaa and Tukamuhabwa, 2015). Why the Maksoy Soybean […]
He pointed out that these soybean support soybean industry in Uganda, where 94% of the Ugandan farmers grow Makerere University varieties. Prof. Tukamuhabwa noted the importance of public-private partnership as well as other partnerships to develop the value-chain of this ‘wonder crop’. “We are excited about the partnership with UNDP.
The History of the Soybean
As in Europe, soy sauce reached the English Colonies in the New World prior to the introduction of soybean seed (New York Gazette, 1750). In 1765, Samuel Bowen introduced Chinese vetches (soybean) into the Colony of Georgia. He obtained the soybean seed in China ( Hymowitz & Harlan, 1983 ).
Planting the future. In 2017, two years after first meeting Maredia and Wang, Tukamuhabwa was finally able to begin growing the genetically modified soybeans in a greenhouse at the Makerere University Agricultural Research Institute. Developed for cultivation in Michigan, the crops would mature much too quickly if planted in Uganda’s climate.
