How To Invest Money In Zambia
Mining
Mining has remained central to the Zambian economy with the mining of copper dominating the sector. In 2016, Zambia was the second (2nd) largest copper producer in Africa and ninth (9th) in the world.
Agriculture
Zambia has 752,000 square kilometers of land mass, 58 percent of which is arable. Currently, however, 14 percent of the arable land is under cultivation indicating the potential for further development in this area.
Housing and Estate Infrastructure
Zambia has been facing a shortage of housing units, especially in rapidly growing towns and districts of the Copperbelt and North Western provinces where mining activities have resurged.
Agro-processing
The government realizes that agriculture alone is not enough to bring about meaningful development to
the Zambian people and therefore recognizes the need to diversify from primary agriculture into agro-processing.
Manufacturing sector
The manufacturing sector in Zambia accounts for about 7.7% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and has been growing at an average annual growth rate of 3% in the last five years (since 2011).
Trade
