Zambian Maize Outlook and Regional Analysis - 2018/2019

Following the 2017/2018 maize harvest Zambia remains food secure. The past harvest saw Zambia’s maize production drop from the record
levels of 2016/2017 but Zambia still recorded a maize surplus of 341,313 MT - over 10% of the total yield. The reduction in the overall size of the harvest was primarily driven by the prolonged dry spell that characterized the production season. Other factors, including the army worm infestation, had limited impact on the size of the harvest.
