Conteúdo: | In Colombia, soybeans are the crop that has received the most attention in recent years. Soybeans represent 14 percent of Colombia's edible oil production and 44 percent of its production of protein concentrates. Soybeans have also received attention because of their importance as a good source of protein for human consumption, and they have been included in government nutrition programs. Ninety-eight percent of the crop is located in the Cauca River Valley, but there are also some areas where soybean production could be intensified, especially in the cotton-growing areas on the Atlantic coast and around the cities of Tolima and Hulia. If soybeans are considered as an alternative to or a rotation crop with cotton, there are approximately 100,000 hectares on the Atlantic coast and around 25,000 hectares in the Tolima-Huila area that are potential soybean-producing areas. These 125,000 hectares could easily yield 187,500 metric tons of soybeans, which would meet the domestic demand for soybean meal and partially cover the shortage of edible oil. Soybeans produced in Colombia are processed for oil and for soybean meal that is used in concentrates for livestock. Only 2 percent of Colombia's soybean production is processed for human consumption.
