VEGETABLES

Vegetables

Vegetables are a vital part of Zambian diets, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and diversity in household meals. For farmers, they also offer a high-value cash crop with shorter growing cycles compared to cereals and legumes, allowing for multiple harvests within a season.

Afriseed’s vegetable seed range includes resilient varieties of tomatoes, onions, cabbages, and leafy greens that are well adapted to local conditions. These crops not only meet strong demand in urban and rural markets but also provide excellent opportunities for income generation and improved household nutrition.

To get the best results, farmers should prepare well-drained soils, apply organic matter where possible, and ensure timely irrigation during dry periods. With proper care and good seed, vegetable farming can be both profitable and sustainable, supporting livelihoods across Zambia.
