Zambia Expands Trade With DRC

Zambia advanced its trade ties with the Democratic Republic of Congo as the government supported the first shipment of 40 metric tonnes of beef to the DRC, part of efforts to diversify exports and grow regional trade. Officials emphasized the DRC’s role as a key partner, with Zambian exports exceeding $1.2 billion in 2024. At a trade mission launch, leaders urged businesses to deepen cooperation, pursue joint ventures, and use corridors like Lobito to expand market access.
