AB  - Backbone of Zanzibar economy is farming.
Farming contributes much in the form of profitability
generated that is influenced by systematic risk factors.
This study aim is to find the effect of systematic risk
factors on profitability of cassava farming in Zanzibar.
The sales margin is used to measure the profitability of
cassava farming in Zanzibar while real GDP, inflation
rate, lending interest rate and broad money are used as
systematic risk factors. By using annual time series data
from 1985-2016, Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method
is employed in running regression. The finding of the
study shows a significant negative effect of inflation rate,
broad money and lending interest rate. Therefore, the
government should closely monitor and prudently manage
the systematic risk factors. Moreover, cassava producers
should be aware of the changes in systematic risk
factors.
