The area planted is expected to increase by about ten percent to 410,000 hectares as there is a renewed interest in cotton production due to the improvement of cotton prices, the challenges faced with corn marketing in Zambia and the weakening of the Zambian Kwacha, which makes Zambian cotton exports more competitive.
