A recursive form of the integrated production-consumption model is estimated for a semi-commercial household in Zambia using primary cross-sectional data. The production side of the model is estimated by linear programming techniques and the consumption side is estimated, econometrically, by the linear expenditure system (LES) of estimating demand functions and labor supply. The integrated model is used to analyze the impact of agricultural price intervention on a small farm-household in Zambia
