ABOUT US
Executive Summary
The Soyabeans Integrated Farmers Association of Nigeria (SOINFAN) is a strong commodity-based organization established in 2019, with corporate registration under the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC/IT NO 138989). The association comprises key stakeholders actively engaged in soyabeans production, marketing, processing, and exporting.
Soyabeans are among the major industrial and food crops in Nigeria. As Africa’s second-largest producer of soyabeans, after South Africa, Nigeria’s primary production regions are concentrated in the northern part of the country. The cultivation of soyabeans provides millions of direct and indirect jobs across the nation.
SOINFAN plays a vital role in fostering cooperation among soyabeans producers, marketers, and processors. This aligns with the Federal Government’s policies to create jobs through agriculture and increase non-oil revenue streams. Additionally, SOINFAN is committed to collaborating with government agencies, international organizations, NGOs, and other partners to enhance the development of the soyabeans industry in Nigeria.
