Feed the Future Zambia aims to assist an estimated 263,000 vulnerable Zambian women,
children, and family members to escape poverty and hunger. Two mechanisms operating under
Feed the Future Zambia are the Production, Finance, & Technology Plus (PROFIT+) project and
the Better Life Alliance (BLA) project. PROFIT+ aims to improve smallholder productivity,
expand markets and trade, and increase private sector investment in agriculture. The project is
targeting 200,000 smallholder farmers in the Eastern Province districts of Chipata, Katete,
Lundazi, and Petauke and is focused on the value chains of maize, soybean, sunflower,
groundnuts, tomato, and onion. BLA’s goal is to increase sustainable, market-led growth across
the entire food production and market chain, resulting in improved food and income security
for 40,000 households in selected environmentally sensitive areas in Chipata, Katete, Lundazi,
Mambwe, Nyimba, and Petauke districts.
