      abstract = {A lack of electricity has devastating consequences for any  economy. Since early 2015, Zambia experienced a 2,100  gigawatt-hours (GWh) power deficit triggering countrywide  power rationing. We assess the impact of power rationing on  Zambia’s agricultural sector, and the costs to firms  operating in the agricultural sector. Our analysis reveals  economy-wide losses amounting to ZMW 32,496,100,813  (representing 18.8% of the GDP). Losses to the agricultural  sector are estimated at ZMW 2,827,160,771 (representing  1.6% of the GDP), and are likely to stifle future economic  growth.},
