Our efforts to establish free trade zones, particularly in Kasumbalesa, are progressing well. The DRC depends heavily on Zambia for its food supply, presenting a substantial market for both major businesses like Zambeef and smaller poultry and egg farmers.

Currently, 70% of Zambia's workforce is engaged in agricultural activities, yet it only contributes 9% to the GDP.
