“Nigeria has recently turned to Soya foods as an alternative source to meat and other protein related food supplements. 98% of the Nigerian families consume soy- foods and over a 100,000 people are involved in its cultivation. Although farming does not take place on a large scale yet around several million tonnes of soy is produced in Nigeria. Nigeria is fortunate in its geography. The vegetational varieties endow the country to successfully undertake a wide variety of crops. Nigeria’s major legumes are groundnuts (Peanuts), soybeans and cowpeas.”
