About ZOFA
United for farmers. Growing for Zambia.
A membership alliance built on shared purpose: supporting farmers, strengthening communities and shaping a sustainable agricultural future.
Who we are
A national alliance for Zambian agriculture
ZOFA brings together farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses and sector partners to create a stronger, more representative agricultural movement.
Zoona Farmers Alliance Zambia (ZOFA) was established in 2016 by indigenous Zambians united by a shared commitment to harness the nation's agricultural potential through collective action. By bringing small-scale farmers together, the Alliance strengthens bargaining power, improves access to knowledge and markets, and promotes farming practices that are productive, profitable and sustainable.
Everything ZOFA does is driven by a single purpose: to give farmers a united voice, protect them from exploitation and create stronger economic opportunities across the agricultural value chain.

Mission
Why ZOFA exists
ZOFA exists to help small-scale farmers market their produce on fair terms and to build a leading agricultural marketing movement in Zambia and beyond.
- Enable small-scale farmers to market their produce on fair terms, free from exploitative intermediaries.
- Unite farmers, cooperatives and agribusinesses around shared commercial and developmental goals.
- Represent member interests at national and local level.
- Improve access to information, training, inputs and markets.
- Promote sustainable and profitable farming practices.
- Strengthen food security and rural livelihoods.
Our ambition is to become Zambia's foremost agricultural marketing alliance and to extend that influence across Africa, without limiting our activities to a single country.
