Before soybean pressing, the oil press should be tested and warm up, soy oil cakes are necessary at this moment. In pressing, soybean feeding should be continuous and average to make sure the normal working of oil press. As the filtering system is equipped with oil press, so the pressed oil is filtered directly. After filtering, the soy oil
Margaret corn germelius and Peter Goldsmith • crop economics • African producers supply less than 1% of the world’s soybeans. Worldwide production of soybean has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.68% since 1961, while African production levels are rising 48% faster at a rate of 6.84% per year. Both world and Africa’s growth in production mostly result from an increase in
