Rice is an emerging staple food in Zambia which was declared a strategic food crop by the Zambian Government in 2007. The per capita consumption increased from 1.4kg per person in 2002 to 4.11kg per person in 2014. The total domestic consumption increased from 15,926 metric tonnes (MT) in 2002 to 59,728 MT in 2014. The increase in rice demand was driven by increases in urban population, rising incomes and change in tastes. Although Zambia has vast land and other resources suitable to produce enough rice for her population, domestic rice output has been below domestic demand which has led to importation of rice to satisfy domestic demand. In 2016, the rice deficit was estimated at 35,000 MT (Ministry of Finance and National Planning (MFND), 2017).
