Schedule 03 — Soybeans

Non‑GMO soybeans from the belt that feeds Nigeria.

Benue, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Taraba and Plateau grow the bulk of Nigeria's soybeans — conventional, non‑GMO varieties suited to oil crushing, feed milling and food processing. We screen, de‑stone and bag at our facility, and ship in 50 kg bags or bulk.

Non‑GMO by originNigeria grows conventional soybean varieties — no genetically modified soy is planted commercially — so identity is preserved from field to bag.
Crush, feed or foodProtein in the high thirties and oil around a fifth of weight make it a versatile bean for crushers, poultry and aqua feed, soy milk and tofu.
Cleaned before it travelsSieved and de‑stoned to keep foreign matter under 2 %, dried to a safe moisture for the voyage.

The journey

From the field to the ship.

Seven stages, start to finish. Scroll and the stage on the left follows along.

01Stage one
01 · Fields of the middle belt

Conventional beans, conventionally grown.

Benue, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Taraba and Plateau grow the bulk of Nigeria’s soybeans. No genetically modified soy is planted commercially here, so identity is preserved from the field without a paper trail to buy.

Non‑GMO by originRain‑fedHarvest Oct – Dec
02 · Harvest & threshing

Cut, field‑dried, then threshed.

Plants are cut and left to dry in the field until the pods rattle, then threshed to free the beans. Chaff and pod are blown off in the same pass, and the grain goes straight into collection bags.

03 · Cleaning & de‑stoning

Sieved, de‑stoned, dried for the voyage.

At our facility the beans run over an inclined sieve deck and a de‑stoner: stones, soil and broken material leave at one end, clean grain at the other. Foreign matter comes down under 2 %, and moisture down to a level that travels safely.

04 · Protein & moisture check

The three numbers crushers ask for.

Protein, oil and moisture are measured on every lot, along with damaged and split beans. Crushers, feed millers and food processors each care about a different one of those — so we send all of them.

  • Protein 36 – 40 % · oil 18 – 20 %
  • Moisture ≤ 12 – 13 %
  • Foreign matter ≤ 1 – 2 %
05 · Filling & weighing

Filled to 50 kg, weighed, stitched.

Cleaned beans run from the hopper into 50 kg PP bags on the scale, stitched and lot‑marked. Bulk loading is available where your mill prefers to take it loose.

06 · Container stuffing

Counted in, sealed under supervision.

Bags are stuffed and tallied under supervision, lined and dunnaged for the route. The container is sealed and photographed, and the seal number reaches you the same day.

  • 20 ft and 40 ft per contract
  • Fumigated and certified
  • Seal number and stuffing photos sent
07 · Port & sea

Cleared at Lagos. Sailing to you.

Export clearance and the full document set are handled by our team at Apapa and Tin Can Island, and we share the bill of lading and vessel tracking until your container lands.

Questions buyers ask

Before you send the enquiry.

If your question isn't here, write to us — we answer within one business day.

Ask us directly
Are your soybeans non-GMO?

Yes. No genetically modified soy is planted commercially in Nigeria, so the beans are conventional by origin rather than by certificate.

What protein and oil content do you supply?

Protein of 36 to 40 percent and oil of 18 to 20 percent, with moisture at or below 12 to 13 percent.

Where do the soybeans come from and when are they harvested?

Benue, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Taraba and Plateau in the middle belt. Harvest runs October to December, with shipments from November.

How are the beans cleaned?

They run over an inclined sieve deck and a de-stoner at our facility, which brings foreign matter under 2 percent, then they are dried to a moisture level that travels safely.

How are soybeans packed?

50 kg PP bags as standard, or bulk on request, in 20 ft or 40 ft containers per contract.
