Abstract: Abstract Zambia (population 10.5 million) is among the poorest of the least developed countries (LDCs) in the WTO. Real per capita income was estimated at $421 in 2003, which is 28 per cent lower than it was in 1980, at $584. It is estimated that 84.6 per cent of the population lived below the poverty line in 1998, compared with 49 per cent in 1980 (Seshamani, 1999). The rate of growth of real output is low; real GDP was estimated at $4.9 billion in 2003 compared with $3.4 billion in 1980 — an increase of only 47 per cent in 23 years. This is despite an abundance of unutilized agricultural resources.
