evidence of the admiration. Soybeans’ significance in the U.S. and the global market depends largely on industrial manufacturing and large-scale livestock production, while a minor role as a human food source. West African countries are looking to soybeans as ‘the miracle crop’ to alleviate malnutrition and poverty. Nutritionally, soy protein is cheaper than meat and soybeans contain 35% protein and 20% fat by weight. Large areas of Africa possess suitable conditions of acceptable daylight hours and rainfall to support soybean cultivation (Figure 26)(FAO 1997). Another advantage of soybeans are they are not native to Africa, and therefore less prone to pest and diseases. Figure 26 - Areas of Africa suitable for rain-fed production of soybean (FAO 1997) 80
Colonials and missionaries in the 1940s first introduced soybeans to Nigeria and Ghana. In 1987, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) supported with funds from the International Development Centre (IDRC) aggressively introduced soybeans into Nigeria. In 1985, Nigeria only produced 28 metric tons and in 1995, production increased to 200,000 metric tons (Dashiell 1998). In the last 20 years, several agencies within Ghana have advocated soybean cultivation. Ghana’s Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), Catholic Relief Services (CRS), and other NGOs have been educating, promoting, and assisting farmers in the cultivation and use of soybeans (Figure 27) Figure 27 - Cover of MoFA Soybean Extension Cookbook (Women’s Farmers Extension Services 1990) 81
