Please refer him to the data series "Agricultural and
Pastoral Production" at his Central Statistical Office in
Lusaka, I believe there is a data series for Commercial
Farms that goes back to the 1930's that would show the
growth of maize production.
Corporate farms tied to copper production would be the
development event that stimulated maize production
to feed the miners with meal that was convenient to cook up
in little time.
