| description |
Agriculture and agribusiness play an
important role in the Zambian economy, contributing around
20 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in recent years
and about 12 percent of national export earnings.
Agriculture employs nearly 70 percent of the labor force and
remains the main source of income and employment for most of
the people living in rural areas. The objective of the
Zambia agribusiness indicators (ABI) country report is to
examine factors that have affected agricultural
productivity, market access, and the policy environment for
agriculture in Zambia. This report presents findings of a
data collection exercise carried out to compile a set of
pilot ABI for Zambia. The pilot indicators presented are
based on a review of the literature, government statistical
bulletins, and primary interviews in the seed, fertilizer,
mechanization, agricultural finance, and transport
subsectors. The resulting indicators are presented in matrix
form, together with notes indicating the specific data
source (or sources) used for each indicator. A set of
questionnaires was developed for this part of the exercise
based on guidelines. Perception indicators on the quality of
road infrastructure and other transport sector issues were
added to supplement the checklist guidelines. The
anticipated impact of the presentation of country
performances will be to raise the competitiveness of African
agriculture by bringing into sharper focus measures of how
individual countries are transitioning towards a more
commercial agriculture. This report consists of following
seven chapters: chapter one gives introduction; chapter two
presents access to and use of improved seed; chapter three
focuses on fertilizer access and availability; chapter four
focuses on access to farm machinery and tractor hire
services; chapter five presents access to agricultural and
agri-enterprise finance; chapter six gives cost and
efficiency of transport in Zambia; and chapter seven
presents policy and enabling environment for agribusiness development. |
