Resumen
Descripción
More than two decades after the initiation of agricultural market reforms in eastern and southern Africa (ESA), governments
in the region are increasingly using parastatal grain marketing boards (GMBs) and/or strategic grain reserves (SGRs) to directly influence the prices faced by farmers and consumers (Jayne, Chapoto, and Govereh 2007). In Zambia, the government through the Food Reserve Agency, an
SGR/GMB, purchased nearly 400,000 MT of
maize from smallholders in 2006/07 and 2007/08, or more than 50% of the maize marketed by this group.
