Zambia's main agricultural exports are cotton, sugar, and cut
flowers. Agricultural exports increased significantly
between 1993 and 1998 from US$27.2 million to US$89.7 million. However,
Zambia's agricultural sector has historically lacked significant
infrastructure and productive investment. This means that the sector is
highly underdeveloped whilst offering considerable potential if large
investment was supplied. For example, neighboring Zimbabwe, which is of
a comparable size and climate to Zambia, exported US$1,157 million of
agricultural goods in 1998. The key problem with Zambia's failure
to fully exploit its agricultural production to a similar extent as
Zimbabwe is that agricultural imports have significantly outweighed
agricultural exports throughout the 1990s. This represented another
imbalance on the national balance of payments and a serious drain of
foreign currency reserves that have to be used to pay for imports.
