      abstract = {Though Zambia has considerable agricultural potential, the  sector’s contribution to growth and poverty reduction has  been limited. The sector remains one of the most important  employers of labour and remains the main source of  livelihood for most rural households in Zambia. Thus key  development challenge facing Zambian agriculture over the  past two decades has been how it can effectively contribute  to poverty reduction and broad-based economic growth.  Agricultural commercialisation and surplus production, as  revealed by nationally representative farm surveys, in the  country has remained concentrated with only
about 5% of  Zambia’s small- and medium-scale farmers produce half of  the marketed
surplus. Meanwhile at least half of the  smallholder farms sell little or no crops and hence derive  virtually no cash income from agriculture.},
