Smallholder Garden Survey Report

PREFACE

This report contains the results of the Garden Survey which is one of

the modules of the National Sample Surveys of Agriculture (NSSA).

The NSSA was carried out in 1992/93 agricultural season from

October 1992 to September 1993. The data was collected from a

sample of rural smallholder households.

The survey was conducted on a collaborative basis between the

Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) and the National Statistical Office

(NSO). MOA provided 282 of the 700 enumerators and supervisors

from its existing permanent statistical staff in the Agriculture

Development Divisions (ADDs) while the rest were recruited by NSO

on temporary basis.

This report is one in series of five volumes in publishing the NSSA

survey results. The data presented in this report include information

on cropping pattern, production and yield of various crops and crop

husbandry practices. The first volume covers information on

smallholder farm population and units of labour, household

characteristics, hired farm labour and household off-farm economic

activities. The third volume covers information on livestock. The

fourth volume will cover information on health, employment status of

households head, migration and household assets. The fifth volume

will cover information on extension advice.

1. INTRODUCTION

Once every ten years, a National Sample Survey of Agriculture (NSSA) is

conducted to update bench mark data on the organization and structure of

smallholder agriculture sector of the country. Such information helps the

government to formulate plans to improve the productivity of the

smallholder sector.

The first NSSA was carried out in 1968/69 agriculture season. The second

one was carried out in the 1980/81 agriculture season the third one, which

is the subject of this report, was carried out in the 1992/93 agriculture

season from October 1992 to September 1993.

The 1992/93 NSSA collected data related to:-

(a) Household Composition

(b) Garden Details

(c) Health

(d) Employment Status of Household,

Migration and household Assets

(e) Extension

(f) Livestock

This report is one in series of five reports in publishing the results of the

1992/93 NSSA. This is the second report and it covers information on

cropping pattern, yield and production of various crops. The first report

covers the results of data collected under the Household Composition

Survey. The third report information on health, employment status of

household head, migration and household assets, whilst the fifth report

covers information on extension advice.

2. PURPOSE OF THE NSSA

The NSSA was intended to provide basic data requirements for:-

(a) estimation of national aggregates of crop production for use

in the compilation of national accounts.

(b) Monitoring the effect of agricultural extension programmes as

well as evaluation of the National Rural Development

Programmes ( NRDP ) at Rural Development Project (RDP),

Agriculture Development Division (ADD) and national levels

and

(c) establishment of priorities and formulation of social-economic

in the smallholder sector of the rural economy.

3. SURVEY PEPARATION

In preparation for the 1992/93 NSSA, several discussions were held

between the NSO and other Government Ministries/Departments on

the possibility of conducting this nationwide survey. The discussions

mainly centered on the modalities of the survey and funding.

Government Ministries/Departments and other organizations were

asked to submit their data needs to the NSO for inclusion in the

NSSA. These data needs to the NSO for by a brief explanation on

why that information was required and how it was going to be used.

The NSO scrutinized the various data requirements and assessed

whether the data was no already available and if not available

whether it was feasible to collect such data. Questionnaires were

then designed in line with the type of data to be collected and

meetings were held with the organizations concerned to discuss the

questionnaires.

After the questionnaires had been finalized, the NSO carried out a

pilot Survey in the smallholder agriculture sector of Machinga ADD

during the 1990/91 agriculture season from October 1990 to

September 1991.

The main objective of the Pilot Survey was to test the adequacy of

the questionnaires, the sampling techniques and to determine the

magnitude of various biases and errors which were likely to occur

under the field conditions in the main survey.

Before the main survey was launched, the NSO publicized the survey

through the District Commissioners in all the districts in the country.

A press release was also made available to the media to inform the

general public about the NSSA. These efforts were done in order to

get full cooperation of the people involved in the surveys so that it

could be conducted successfully.

4. RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING OF FIELD STAFF

The Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) provided 282 field personnel and

the balance, 418 field staff, was recruited by the NSO through Labour

Offices on a district basis. This was to ensure that the transportation

costs to their places of work were to a minimum.

Training for supervisors was carried out from the 16th to 28th August

1992 and was conducted simultaneously at a center in each of the

three regions. The enumerator’s training was simultaneously

conducted in 11 centres from the 6th to the 18th of September 1992.

5. FIELD ORGANISATION

There were 100 supervisors and 600 enumerators all residing in the

field in houses which the Government rented for them. The

enumerators resided in the respective selected Enumeration Areas

(Eas) so that they should be able to visit the sample households

frequently using push bicycles which were issued to them. The

supervisors were centrally located and each was responsible for six

enumerators on the average. The number of enumerators allocated to

a supervisor depended on the spread of Eas. In very isolated areas

fewer enumerators were allocated to a supervisor.

The NSO established Regional Offices in the 1980s, one in the

Southern, Central and Northern Region of the country. These

regional centres headed by a Regional officer, were responsible for

the coordination of the field work within the region.

6. SAMPLE DESIGN

The country is divided into eight ADDs which are in turn divided into

30 Rural Development Projects (RDPs). For sample selection

purposes, the country was divided into 107 strata. These strata were

based on features like soil type, cropping pattern and rainfall. The

stratum boundaries never crossed RDP and EA boundaries. This

ensured that all the strata contained a complete set of EAs while

RDPs contained a complete set of strata and each ADD contained

complete sets of RDPs.

The sampling methodology used was a two-stage stratified sample

design. The Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) were the Eas while the

Secondary Sampling Units (SSUs) were Households. The Eas were

selected with Probability Proportional to size (Pps) of the EA. The

measure of size being the total population of the EA as found in the

1987 Population and Housing Census, A simple random procedure

was employed in the selection of the sample households within the

selected EA.

There were a total of 8395 EAs nation-wide. Out of this total, 990

EAs covered forest reserves, cities and other establishments which

did not belong to the smallholder sector of the country.

The sample consider of 600 EAs. This sample was found to be

statistically adequate to give reliable results at the RDP level. The

number of EAs to be selected per stratum was determined by the

square-root of the size of stratum where the stratum size was given

by the sum of the population of all the Eas within the stratum.

3

Enumerators were sent to the selected EAs where they listed all the

households within the selected EA. This list, after removing those

households that did not have a garden or livestock, comprised the

frame for the selection of sample households. The procedure for the

selection of the households was invested under the responsibility of

supervisors. There were all together 12,000 households selected

with 20 households within each of the 600 sample EAs.

7. DATA COLLECTION

The garden Survey was conducted from December, 1992 to July,

1993. This involved measuring all the gardens of selected household,

laying yield sub-plots (YSPs), harvesting and weighing crops in the

YSPs. This exercise was carried out by using prismatic compasses,

measurement tapes, ranging rods, surveyors’ arrows, YSP cords and

Salter Scales. It should be pointed out that YSPs were laid in maize,

rice, groundnuts, wheat, millet, sorghum, pulse and sunflower

gardens/plots only.

After the gardens had been measured the supervisors checked the

forms for consistency and also calculated hectarage and closing error

right in the field before they could be sent to the office for coding

and editing. All gardens, whose closing error was 5 percent or more,

were rejected and sent back to the enumerators concerned for re-

measurement. Calculation of hectarage and closing error was done

by using programmable calculators called Fx-4000p.

8. MEASUREMENT OF YIELD

(i) For maize, rice wheat, soghum, millet, pulses and sunflower, the

crop in the YSPs was harvested, shelled or threshed and weighed

after drying it for at least 5 days.

(ii) For groundnuts the crop in the YSP was harvested in the same

way as was done with the other crops. The crop was weighed

after drying it for at least 5 days. Sub-sample of 2 kilograms or

more was shelled and used to estimate the yield of shelled nuts.

This was done by using the following formula.

Yield=Weight of unshelled nuts in the YSP*weight of sample kernels

Total weight of unshelled sub-sample

9. DATA PROCESSING

Coding and manual editing of Garden Survey questionnaires started

immediately after the Household Composition Survey questionnaires

had been completed. Data entry for this survey started two weeks

after manual editing had started and lasted for about three months.

4

There was one complete questionnaire for each garden and since a garden

may have one or more plots, each record entered represented information

for a single plot. The data entry program was designed in such away that

the identification and details pertaining to the garden to which that

particular plot belong automatically repeated for each plot within the

garden. The data set consisted of about 2,700 plots.

10. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

(a) Household: this may be made of one person or a group of people,

related or unrelated who make common provision of food. The

members of a household may or may not sleep in the same house.

(b) Household Head: This is the person who makes day to day decision

in the household.

(c) Farming Household: This is a household which has at least one of its

members operating a garden or has livestock.

(d) Holding: This is a unit of agriculture production comprising all land

that was cultivated by a household during the 1992/93 agriculture

season from October, 1992 to September 1993.It may consist of one

or more parcels of land. This excludes all land belonging to the

household which was not cultivated in the said period.

(e) Enumeration Areas: These are areas drawn up for the 1987

Population And Housing Census whereby each area was to be

covered by one enumerator for a period of not more than three

weeks.

(f) Garden: This may be a small or large piece of land. It must be

continuous, that is, if a path, road or river of more than three meters

wide passes through it then this divides it into two gardens. One

garden may have several different crops growing in it.

(g) Plot: This is a part of a garden which contains a different crop or

crop mixture or is kept by a different operator in the same

household. It must be a continuous piece of land and should not be

split by a path of more than one meter in width.

(h) Yield Sub-Plot: This is a 50 square meter plot which is randomly laid

in some gardens with a view to estimating yield for that particular

crop.

(i) Closing Error: This is the gap between the start and end of a

garden/plot sides which resulted from errors in measuring angles and

lengths.

11. SUMMARY OF RESULTS*

(a) Garden and plot details

Table A below which is extracted from Table G1.0 (National) presents data

on number and percentage of gardens by holding size category and ADD.

The data show that at national level the estimated total number of gardens

cultivated by smallholder farmers in the 1992/93 agricultural season was

about 2.7 million, of which 68 percent were less than 1 hectare in size; 24

percent were between 1.00 and 1.99 hectares and 8 percent were 2

hectares or more in size.

ADD 163268 100 62.5 23.8 13.7

At ADD level the pattern is similar to that of the national level with the

exception of Kasungu ADD which shows that about 34 percent of the

gardens were less than 1 hectare in size. This implies that most of the

gardens in Kasungu ADD during the said period were 1 hectare or more in

size. This is slightly followed by Mzuzu ADD which has 49 percent of the

gardens which were 1 hectare or more in size. The data also show that

Blantyre ADD had the largest proportion of gardens which were less than 1

hectare in size (87 percent), followed by Karonga ADD (74 Percent),

Machinga ADD (73 Percent), Salima ADD (69 percent), Lilongwe ADD (65

percent) and Shire Valley ADD (63 percent).

* Percentages used in the text have been rounded up.

It is also observed that Blantyre ADD and Machinga ADD have the largest

number of gardens while Karonga ADD, Salima ADD and Shire Valley ADD

have the least of gardens. This is so presumably because the former have

the largest rural farming population (see smallholder Household

Composition Survey Report).

Table G2.0 (National) presents data on percentage of cultivated area by

ploughing method used. The data shows that at national level over 80

percent of the cultivated area was not ploughed.

At ADD level the situation is similar to that of the national level with the

exception of Karonga ADD and Shire Valley ADD where 52 percent and 58

percent of the cultivated area was not ploughed and 38 percent and 40

percent were tilled by hoeing respectively.


ridging method used. The table shows that at national level 80 percent of

the cultivated area was ridged by hoeing, 4 percent was ridged by oxen and

15 percent was not ridged in this season. At ADD level Kasungu ADD,

Salima ADD, Lilongwe ADD, Machinga ADD and Blantyre ADD had over 80

percent of the cultivated area ridged by hoeing. Karonga ADD and Mzuzu

ADD had least proportions of the cultivated area which was ridged by

hoeing with 51 percent and 57 percent respectively. Shire Valley ADD had

86 percent of the cultivated area not ridged in this season. This is because

the ADD practices the system of flat planting whereby ridges are not

necessary. Karonga ADD also partly practices flat planting, hence the

reason for low proportion of ridged cultivated area.


planting method used. The data show that at national level over 80 percent

of the cultivated area had crops planted on new ridges as compared to only

5 percent which used old ridges. The system of planting on new ridges is

also the same at ADD level except in Karonga and Shire Valley ADD. In

Karonga ADD 40 percent of the cultivated area was flat planted and 55

percent was planted on new ridges. The situation in Shire Valley is quite

different from all others in that 79 percent of the cultivated area was flat

planted as compared to only 11 percent which were planted on new ridges.

Table B below is extracted from Table G5.0 (National) and presents data on

percentage of cultivated area by source of permission to use land. The table

shows that at national level land which was cultivated during the 1992/93

agricultural season was borrowed (32 percent) and followed by those who

were given permission by their relatives by marriage (28 percent).

ADD 100 17.7 16.6 48.2 0.7 16.8 At ADD level the situation varies from ADD to ADD in that some ADDs had

highest proportion of those who borrowed land and others who got

permission to use it from both relatives by birth and marriage. Shire Valley

ADD had the highest proportion of those who borrowed land in order to use

it (48 percent), this was followed by Karonga ADD (42 percent), Salima ADD

(41 percent), Blantyre ADD (38 percent), Mzuzu ADD (30 percent 0,

Machinga ADD (28 percent), Lilongwe ADD and Kasungu ADD (26 percent

each).

It is also noted that Mzuzu ADD had the highest proportion of those who got

permission from relatives by birth to use the land (41 percent).This was

followed by Kasungu ADD (39 percent), Blantyre ADD and Lilongwe ADD

(about 31 percent each), Machinga ADD and Salima ADD (28 percent each),

Karonga ADD (22 percent) and Shire Valley ADD (18 percent).

It is further noted that Machinga ADD had the highest proportion of those

who got permission to use the land from relatives by marriage (34

percent).This was followed by Lilongwe ADD (31 percent), Kasungu ADD

(29 percent),Mzuzu ADD (27 percent), Salima ADD and Karonga ADD (15

percent).

Table C below is extracted from Table G6.0 (National) and Table G7.0

(National) and presents data on number and percentage of plots by maize

variety. At national level the table shows that 65 percent of the plots were

planted with local maize. This was followed by hybrid maize (30 percent),

other type of maize (5 percent) and composite maize (1 percent).This

implies that smallholder farmers still cling to their traditional type of maize

despite numerous calls advising them to grow hybrid maize. Hybrid maize

matures fast and is a high yielding crop. Smallholder farmers still cling to

local maize presumably because of its hard flint which makes it poundable

and is not too husky.

At ADD level the situation is that over 60 percent of plots were planted with

local maize except Kasungu ADD and Salima ADD which show that

proportions of plots with local maize were slightly lower than 60 percent.

This is because these two ADDs have higher proportions of plots which

were planted with hybrid maize, that is, Kasungu ADD (38 percent) and

Salima ADD (35 percent).

Table G8.0 (National) presents data on percentage of plots by source of

maize seed. At national level it is observed that about 38 percent of the

plots were planted with maize seed which was retained from last season’s

harvest. This is mainly for local maize seed which accounts for 34 percent

of the plots. At ADD level the pattern is similar to that at the national level

except in Shire Valley ADD which shows that 46 percent of the plots were

planted with maize seed which was bought locally. It is also observed that

most of the hybrid maize was obtained through credit from project/scheme.

(b) Fertilizer Application:

Table D below which is extracted from Table G 11.0 (National) and Table G

12.0 (National) presents data on percentage of plots to which fertilizer was

applied. The table shows that at national level 34 percent of the maize plots

received first application of some type as compared to 11 percent which

received second application. Of the 34 percent of the plots which received

first application of fertilizer, 27 percent of the plots belonged to male

headed households, and of the 11 percent of plots which received second

application of fertilizer, 9 percent belonged to male headed households.

At ADD level the proportions of plots which received first application of

fertilizer are below 50 percent except in Lilongwe ADD which registered

slightly over 50 percent. It is also observed that the two extreme ADDs,

Karonga and Shire Valley ADDs registered the lowest proportions of plots

which received first application of fertilizer of some type with 12 percent in

Karonga ADD and 2 percent in Shire Valley ADD. In general it should be

pointed out that low proportions of plots which received fertilizers indicate

that very few smallholder farmers apply fertilizer to their crops and they

apply it only once and for all. The most unfortunate are the plots in female

headed households which indicate that less than 10 percent were fertilized.

The same situation is also observed in maize plots as presented from Table

G 13.0 TO G 18.0 (National).

Table E below is extracted from Tables G 19.0 and G 21.0 (National) and

presents data on application on area planted with maize and rice. The table

shows that male headed households cultivated 684.5 thousand hectares of

maize of which only 49 percent were fertilized. Female headed households

cultivated about 228.3 thousand hectares and 33 percent only were

fertilized. It is observed that hybrid maize had the largest proportion of

areas fertilized with 71 percent in male headed households and 59 percent

in female headed households.

Table E also shows that areas planted with rice were denied fertilizer as

evidenced by low proportions of areas fertilized. It is observed that male

headed households cultivated about 14.0 thousand hectares of rice of which

only 12 percent were fertilized compared to 16 percent in female headed

households which cultivated about 4.4 thousand hectares’ is also observed

that other type of rice had the largest proportions of areas fertilized with 29

percent in male headed households and 57 percent in female headed

households. It should be mentioned that female headed households

surpassed male headed households in having larger proportions of rice

areas fertilized. Perhaps this is because female headed households

cultivated less rice hectares than male headed households and presumably

larger proportions of the areas were fertilized.

At ADD level, Lilongwe ADD had the largest proportions of fertilized maize

areas in male headed households (63 percent), this was followed by Mzuzu

ADD (65 percent), Kasungu ADD (57 percent), Machinga ADD (42 percent),

Salima ADD (42 percent), Blantyre ADD (36 percent), Karonga ADD (29

percent), and Shire Valley ADD (5 percent). As the case is at national level,

hybrid maize had the largest proportions of fertilized areas in all the ADDs.

In female headed households Mzuzu ADD had the largest proportions of

fertilized maize areas (51 percent), this was followed by Lilongwe ADD (50

percent), Kasungu ADD (43 percent), Blantyre ADD (28 percent), Machinga

ADD (27 percent), Karonga ADD (19 percent), Salima ADD (18 percent) and

Shire Valley (4 percent).

Table E further shows that at A.D.D. level, rice areas were denied fertilizer

as the case was at national level. In male headed households Mzuzu A.D.D.

had the largest proportions of rice areas fertilized (57 percent), this was

followed by Blantyre A.D.D. (22 percent), Salima A.D.D. and Karonga A.D.D.

(16 Percent each), Shire valley A.D.D. (5 Percent) and Machinga A.D.D. (1

Percent). In female headed households Salima A.D.D. had the largest

proportions of Fertilized Rice areas (45 Percent); this was followed by

Karonga A.D.D. (25 Percent), Shire valley A.D.D. (15 Percent) and Blantyre

A.D.D. (2 Percent).

Table G22.0 (National) presents data on percentage of plots to which

Fertilizer was applied by sex of household head and source of financing the

Fertilizer. The table shows that at national level, 16 percent of the plots

were applied with Fertilizer which was obtained through credit, of which 13

percent and 3 percent were plots belonging to Male and Female heads

respectively. This was followed by Fertilizer which the households obtained

on cash bases (15 percent) of which 12 percent were for Male and Female

headed households respectively.

At A.D.D. level, table G22.0 shows that financing for Fertilizer varied in that

Lilongwe A.D.D. fertilizer was mainly financed through credit (31 percent)

of which 26 Percent and 4 percent were Male and Female headed

households respectively. This was followed by Kasungu A.D.D. (20 percent)

of which 18 percent and 2 percent for Male headed and female headed

households, Salima ADD (12 percent) of which 10 percent and 2 percent for

male headed and female headed households and Shire Valley A.D.D. (2

percent) with 1 percent for both Male and Female headed households

respectively.

In Mzuzu A.D.D. fertilizer was mainly financed on cash basis (19 percent) of

which 16 percent and 3 percent of the plots which obtained fertilizer

through credit belonged to male and female headed households

respectively. This was followed by Machinga A.D.D. (16 percent) of which

13 percent and 3 percent were for male headed and female headed

households respectively, Blantyre A.D.D. (13 percent) of which 9 percent

and 4 percent were for male headed and female headed house holds

respectively and Karonga A.D.D. (7 percent) of which 6 percent and 1

percent were for male headed and female headed households respectively.

(c) Total cultivated Area and cropping pattern

Table F below presents data on total cultivated area and average cultivated

area per household. The table shows that the total estimated cultivated area

at national level is 1167.24 thousand hectares with an average of 0.75 of a

hectare per household. Of the total cultivated area only about 77 percent

was cultivated by male headed households with an average of 0.84 of a

hectare per household.

At A.D.D. level the data shows that Lilongwe A.D.D. had the largest

cultivated area (232.98 Thousand hectares) with an average of 0.75 of a

hectare per household. This was followed by Kasungu A.D.D. (225.89

thousand hectares) with an average of 1.37 hectares per household. Of this

cultivated area about 84 percent was for male headed households with an

average of 1.42 hectares per household. This implies that most of the

gardens in Kasungu A.D.D. were 1 hectare or more in size (see table A).

Machinga A.D.D. followed Kasungu A.D.D. with 224.09 thousand hectares

and an average of 0.67 hectare per household, then Blantyre A.D.D. (171.03

thousand hectares) with an average of 0.44 of hectare per household, Mzuzu

A.D.D. (108.76 thousand hectares) with an average of 0.93 of a hectare per

household, Shire valley A.D.D. (89.39 thousand hectares) with an average of

0.89 of a hectare per household, Salima A.D.D. (82.19 thousand hectares)

with an average of 0.90 of a hectare per household and lastly Karonga

A.D.D. (32.91 thousand hectares) with an average of 0.63 of a hectare per

household. It should be pointed out that average holding size in all the

A.D.Ds was above 0.50 of a hectare with the exception of Blantyre A.D.D.

which was 0.44 of a hectare only.

Table G below which is extracted from Tables G23, G25 and G26 presents

data on percentage of area devoted to major crops grown by smallholder

farmers. The table shows that at national level 78 percent of the cultivated

area was planted with maize and 24 percent was devoted to other food

crops. About 9 percent only was devoted to cash crops of tobacco and

cotton. This implies that smallholder farmers devote most of the available

land for cultivation to food crops only. It should be pointed out that

percentages for maize and other food crops are more than 100 percent

because maize is sometimes inter-planted with other food crops, hence

there is an element of double counting.

At ADD level the data also shows that smallholder farmers allocate more

land to maize than any other crop, with the exception of Karonga ADD and

Sire valley ADD. That is more than 70 percent of the land is devoted to

maize crop than any other crop. But in Karonga ADD 57 percent is devoted

to other food crops as compared to 54 percent which is devoted to maize

crop. This is because Karonga ADD allocated more land to rice and cassava

which fall under other food crops. In Shire valley ADD only 47 percent was

devoted to maize crop because more land is devoted to growing cotton,

sorghum and millet.

Table G also shows that female households do not devote a lot of land to

cash crops much as tobacco and cotton. This is presumably because these

crops need a lot of recourses in order for the crop to do well which may not

be easily accessible by the said households. At national level the data

shows that in female headed households, only 1 percent of the land

cultivated was devoted to the two mentioned crops i.e. cotton and tobacco

as compared to their counterparts who devoted 8 percent.

At ADD level female headed households in Shire valley ADD devoted the

largest proportion of land to growing cash crops (5 percent), this was

followed by Kasungu and Salima ADDs(1 percent each), Lilongwe and

Machinga ADD (0.8 percent each), Karonga ADD (0.4 percent) and lastly

Mzuzu and Blantyre ADD (0.01 percent each).

(d) Maize production

Tables G27.0, G28.0 and G29.0 present data on production of selected

crops in all the households, male and female headed households

respectively. Table H below which is extracted from the above mentioned

tables presents data on production of maize. The table shows that at

national level, 1431.30 thousand tones of maize were produced in the

1992/93 agriculture season. This gives an average production of about 917

kilograms per household. Of the total production, about 79 percent were

produced in male headed households. This gives an average production of

about 1,070 kilograms per household and average production in female

headed households was 594 kilograms.

At ADD level , Lilongwe ADD produced largest amount of maize (339.50

thousand tones), followed by Kasungu ADD (294.70 thousand tones),

Machinga ADD (274.38 thousand tones), Blantyre ADD (181.04 thousand

tones ), Mzuzu ADD (162.41 thousand tones) , Salima ADD (87.19 thousand

tones), Shire valley (62.42 thousand tones) and Karonga ADD (29.66

thousand tones).

Although Lilongwe ADD produced largest amount of maize, Kasungu ADD

had the largest average amount produced per household (about 1788

kilograms), followed by Mzuzu ADD (about 1389 Kilograms), Lilongwe ADD

(about 1093 kilograms), Salima ADD (about 959 kilograms), Machinga ADD

(about 819 kilograms), Shire valley ADD (about 621 kilograms), Karonga

ADD (about 565 kilograms) and Blantyre ADD (464 kilograms). It should be

mentioned that female headed households produced between 381 and 1204

kilograms of maize with Blantyre ADD producing the least amount and

Kasungu ADD the largest amount.

11. CONCLUSION

This report gives data on garden/plot details, fertilizer application, cropping

pattern and yield/production of selected crops, as collected during the

1992/93 Garden survey of the NSSA.

The survey results show that smallholder farmers cultivated about 2.7

million gardens of which 68 percent were less than 1 hectare in size and 8

percent were 2 hectares or more in size.

The survey results also show that only 34 percent of maize plots received

first application of fertilizer and only 11 percent received second fertilizer

application. It is also noted that in female headed households only 6 percent

of the maize plots received first application of fertilizer while only 2 percent

received second application.

The results reveal that a total of 1,167.24 thousand hectares were

cultivated during the 1992/93 agriculture season. Of this total about 77

percent were cultivated by male headed households with an average of 0.84

of a hectare per household. It is also noted that Kasungu ADD had the

largest average cultivated area per household (1.37 ha).

The results further reveal that smallholder farmers produced about 1431.30

thousand tones of maize with an average production of about 917 Kilograms

per household. It is again noted that Kasungu ADD had the largest average

production of maize per household (about 1788 Kilograms). It is further

noted that of the total maize production, female headed households

produced only 21 percent with an average production of 594 Kilograms per

household.
