Resumo: | It might be considered unlikely that inadequate access to                         land would be one of                         the major causes of rural poverty in Zambia. However,                         evidence presented in this paper                         shows that economically viable arable land is not in great                         abundance in Zambia after                         considering the current situation with respect to access to                         road infrastructure and access to                         services and markets. In fact, access to land is already a                         major problem for large segments of                         the rural population in Zambia. Moreover, depending of future                          land allocation policy, access                         to good quality land with a market potential may become                         increasingly beyond the reach of many small-scale farm                         households, making it more difficult to achieve a                         smallholder-led, pro-poor agricultural development trajectory.
