Zambia Exporter Guide 2025
With the development of the Lobito Corridor, Zambia, one of the developing economies in Southern Africa, might eventually claim a sophisticated distribution network backed by a small commercial sector. Although the majority of its basic food needs are satisfied by its self-sustaining agricultural sector, the nation offers significant potential for U.S. exports, especially consumer goods and ingredients for its food processing industry. The demand for specialty U.S. food and beverage exports is being driven by changes in consumers’ health-consciousness and receptivity to innovative products. To take advantage of Zambia’s rising demand for high-quality imports, U.S. exporters must overcome obstacles like local competition, preferential trade agreements that benefit foreign competitors, and an unfavorable exchange rate.
