  • What is the main crop in Lesotho?
  • Only 11% of Lesotho’s land area is arable, but less than 1% has high potential. Most cultivated land is in the western lowlands. The principal food crop is corn. Main agricultural production in 2004 included (in tons) corn, 150,000; sorghum, 46,000; wheat, 51,000; dry beans, 8,000; and vegetables and melons, 18,000.
  • How to grow beans in Lesotho?
  • It is beneficial to incorporate residue into the soil after harvesting so that it can begin to rot when the first rains fall. It is recommended that beans be planted in a ploughed field where the crop residue has been worked very well. This crop grows in most soils of Lesotho. It grows best with soils that have some clay of 10%.
  • What percentage of Lesotho’s population rely on agriculture?
  • Roughly 80 percent of Lesotho’s population depends on subsistent agriculture for their livelihoods. Agriculture’s contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has declined over the last five years. However, there is potential for commercial agriculture. Approximately 75 percent of the total land area is suitable for agricultural production.
