Academician suggested doubling the soybean harvest in the Far East: how is this possible?

Renowned representative of the Russian Academy of Sciences, academician Petr Chekmarev, at a meeting dedicated to the development of agriculture in the Far East, presented an interesting idea about the possibility of doubling the soybean yield in this region.

He noted that soybeans are one of the key crops in the Far East, but so far, the yield has not reached high levels due to insufficient use of crop rotation and agricultural machinery.

However, according to Chekmarev, increasing soybean yield by 1.5-2 times is possible. Currently, the Far East produces about 2 million tons of soybeans, but the prospects allow reaching 4 million tons. This requires a significant effort in creating new soybean varieties and developing new technologies.
