Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Agrarian Studies, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ) (School of Business and Economics), course: Development Policy and Management, language: English, abstract: The paper explores measures put in place by the Zambian government over the years to enhance the small-holder farmers’ access to appropriate agricultural technologies and the management of the Fertilizer Support Programme. The paper focusses on the development of appropriate technology for small-holder farmers, who constitute the majority of the agricultural population in Zambia. Of significance are the analysis of government policy on the development on appropriate technologies and the management of the Fertilizer Support Programme to the advantage of small-holder farmers. The paper finds the significance of small-holder farmers in economic development as a crucial factor. The paper further finds the government with no choice but to pursue the agriculture sector vision of an efficient, competitive, sustainable and export lead agriculture sector that assures food security and increased incomes. This entails the development of appropriate technologies and policy initiatives ideal to small holder farmers at every level.

Book Synopsis Zambia - Impact Assessment of the Fertilizer Support Program by : Weltbank

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research report examines the technical efficiency and impact of the Zambia Fertilizer Support Program (FSP). The FSP was launched by the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) in 2002 as a temporary measure to provide subsidized hybrid maize seed and fertilizer packages to smallholder farmers and to promote the participation of private traders in supply. When the FSP was announced, the Government indicated that farmers would be eligible to receive support for two consecutive seasons only and that the subsidy level would be reduced by 25 percent per year. The program was meant to run for three years to the end of the 2004/05 farm season. Contrary to these initial plans, the scale of FSP operations has grown significantly since the program was launched with large additions to the numbers of farmers targeted in some years, a change in the subsidy level from 50 percent to 60 percent, little attention to the intended two-year "graduation" requirements, and a significant escalation of total costs and cost per beneficiary. The budgeted amount for 2007/08 was ZMK 150 billion. This assessment was prepared to help answer these questions and provide an improved basis for discussing the current and future role of agriculture input subsidies in Zambia. The request for this attests to the Zambian Government's commitment to transparent decision making. The analysis focuses specifically on the 2007/08 agriculture season.

This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This framework presents ten interrelated principles/elements to guide Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization in Africa (SAMA). Further, it presents the technical issues to be considered under SAMA and the options to be analysed at the country and sub regional levels. The ten key elements required in a framework for SAMA are as follows: The analysis in the framework calls for a specific approach, involving learning from other parts of the world where significant transformation of the agricultural mechanization sector has already occurred within a three-to-four decade time frame, and developing policies and programmes to realize Africa’s aspirations of Zero Hunger by 2025. This approach entails the identification and prioritization of relevant and interrelated elements to help countries develop strategies and practical development plans that create synergies in line with their agricultural transformation plans. Given the unique characteristics of each country and the diverse needs of Africa due to the ecological heterogeneity and the wide range of farm sizes, the framework avoids being prescriptive.

Download or read book The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2018 written by Food and Agriculture of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global agricultural trade has increased significantly in value terms since 2000. Its pattern has also changed – emerging economies and developing countries play a bigger role in international markets, and South–South agricultural trade has expanded significantly. Climate change is expected to affect agriculture, food security and nutrition unevenly across countries and regions. Changes in comparative advantage in agriculture around the world will also affect international trade. This edition of The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets focuses on the complex and underexplored intersection between agricultural trade, climate change and food security. The report makes an important contribution to the policy debates on climate change adaptation and mitigation under the Paris Agreement and the multilateral agricultural trade rules. The report discusses policies – both domestic support and trade measures – that can promote food security, adaptation and mitigation, and improve the livelihoods of family farmers around the world. Given both the slow- and rapid-onset impacts of climate change, policies that can significantly promote climate change adaptation and mitigation would benefit from deeper discussions in international fora on how to strengthen the mutually supportive role of trade rules and climate interventions.
