The analysis of the situation and perspectives on food security in Sub-Saharan Africa shows a growing gap between consumption and nutrition needs and food availabilities at the national, household and individual levels. The frailty of gains of productivity in food production and import capacities constitutes a major constraint to the realization of food security in the region. The growth of the agricultural sector becomes the prerequisite for food security improvement. However, the increase in agricultural productivity faces serious natural constraints such as climate contingencies, soil fertility and water control; socio-economic constraints such as the lack of capitalization, institutional weaknesses, lack of rural infrastructure and the frailty of... |

The Central Statistical Office (CSO) has been conducting the annual Zambia Post-Harvest Survey (PHS) for many years. The current sampling frame for this survey is based on the census supervisory areas (CSAs) and standard enumeration areas (SEAs) defined for the 1990 Zambia Census of Population and Housing. A new listing of households is conducted in the sample SEAs each year for selecting the sample households. Although this is still a representative sample of households, changes in the population distribution during the past decade have made the 1990 sampling frame for the PHS less efficient. Now that the data from the 2000 Zambia Census of Population and Housing are available, it is possible to develop a more effective sampling frame for the PHS. The... |

One objective of this paper is to examine the trends and changes in crop production before and after the implementation of the partial market liberalization policies starting in the early 1990s. Another objective of the paper is to assess agricultural production performance and its implications for household food security. These issues are examined on the basis of the Crop Forecast Survey (CFS) data, Post Harvest Survey (PHS) data, Central Statistical Office (CSO) price data, data from the Agricultural Market Information Centre (AMIC) at the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries (MAFF), and other data. |
