Does anyone have breakdown costs of what inputs are needed for Soya Beans farming per hectare. I am looking at giving it (Soya Beans) a shot, and am sorting out my costing and projections. The land is in Chivhu and is approx 40ha. Thanks

I do not have the breakdown for that but one thing I can assur you is that there is a lot of demand for soya beans in Zim and thath one will be goo business. Good luck

You may wishto note that Zim requires 40000tones of soya beans against "production" of only 50000 tonnes

I meant Zim requires 400 000 (four Hundred Thousand) and not 40 000 tonnes. Sorry for the typing error

Thnx Tennyson - That's good to know. There's a contact @ the ZFU who's promised me the breakdown of the figs involved. I'll post here as soon as I have anything.

cheers
