Morphology Utilization Research Materials World geography ... Introduction Search bibliography Zambia General information Zambia , a land-locked country, lies between latitudes 8 o and 18 oS and 22 o and 34 o E longitude in southern Africa . The country has a total area of 752,614 square kilometer. The country is mainly a plateau with an altitude range of 900 -1350 m. Some valleys lie below 310 m. It has tropical climate modified by altitude. Rainy season lasts from October to April. Out of 740,724 sq km land area 7.08 % is arable land. Zambia has an estimated population of 10.31 million (July 2003) with an annual growth rate of 1.52 %. Agriculture accounts for 22 % of GDP and employs 85 % of labor force. Importance of groundnut Most of the groundnut produced in Zambia is grown by resource poor smallholder farmers. It is a good source for cash income and vegetable protein to low-income groups. Confectionary nuts make up the bulk of production and consumption in the country ( Sandhu et al 1986). Groundnut production fell sharply in late 1970s and early 1980s. It has started increasing since late 1980s. Production environment The Eastern and Central provinces are the major groundnut producing regions in the country. Bulk of the production takes place in the central plateau of Eastern province. Groundnut is grown mainly as a rainfed crop. It is grown during the wet season, which starts in November and lasts until March/April. In the eastern and central regions, where annual rainfall ranges from 800 to 1100 mm, long-season Virginia varieties can be grown. These varieties mature in 140 to 160 days. But the southern and western regions, which receive less than 800 mm annual rainfall, are suitable only for short-season Spanish varieties ( Sandhu et al 1984). The short season Spanish varieties mature in 110 to 120 days.

During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration. The name was changed to Zambia upon independence in 1964. In the 1980s and 1990s, declining copper prices and a prolonged drought hurt the economy. Elections in 1991 brought an end to one-party rule, but the subsequent vote in 1996 saw blatant harassment of opposition parties.
