Soybeans
For Industrial and Commercial Uses
Naturally Grown Soybeans
Nigeria is the largest producer of soybeans in sub-Saharan Africa and the sixth largest producer worldwide. Nigeria's soybean exports are on the rise — in 2020, Nigeria exported 1.4 million tons of soybeans worth $380 million. The main destinations for Nigerian soybeans are India (about 40% of exports), China (about 30%), and the Netherlands (about 20%).
Why Buy Nigerian Soybeans From Commodity 1?
Competitive prices. We sell to you directly, eliminating the need for intermediaries and go-betweens, and are willing to negotiate on price for buyers who commit to a long-term contract.
Naturally grown, and hence healthy. We grow soybeans naturally, without pesticides and fungicides. Pesticide-free soybeans give you a healthier option than other cultivars — pesticide use in food crops poses real risks to human health, from short-term skin and respiratory irritation to long-term risks including cancer, reproductive problems, and neurological issues. Regular soybean cultivation typically uses pesticides and fungicides such as carbamates, organophosphates, pyrethroids, and insect growth regulators, all with harmful potential impacts on human health.
Unique cultivar properties. Nigerian soybeans are known for high nutritional value — a good source of protein, fiber, iron, magnesium, and zinc. They are adaptable to a wide range of soils and climates, and naturally more resistant to pests and diseases than soybeans grown in other parts of the world.
