Abstract
As a smallholder farmer in Zambia’s Eastern Province, Lungu’s biggest source of cash to turn his dreams into reality will come from the sale of groundnuts. And for the last two seasons, the markets have been paying Lungu well for the new high-yielding variety of groundnuts he is now growing. MGV-4, also known as CG-7, was recently released in Zambia and the red-colored groundnut has higher yields than the other varieties Lungu previously grew. Today Lungu is no longer just a dreamer. Tangible rewards from the marketplace have turned his dreams into the fi rst steps of a new reality.
