Zambia is Gateway to Regional Markets in Africa.
In line with 2030 Vision Zambia offers strategic trade and investment opportunities for partners from the Indo-Pacific region, underpinned by political stability, ongoing economic reforms, and preferential access to regional and continental markets through SADC and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Key priority sectors for cooperation include:
- Mining and Critical Minerals – copper, cobalt, and value-addition opportunities supporting global energy transition and industrial supply chains
- Renewable Energy and Power Infrastructure – solar, hydro, transmission, and battery storage projects
- Agriculture and Agro-Processing – food production, mechanisation, irrigation, and export-oriented value chains
- Transport, Logistics, and Regional Corridors – rail, road, dry ports, and trade facilitation along strategic corridors
- Manufacturing and Industrial Parks – light manufacturing, industrial inputs, and regional market-oriented production
- Water, Sanitation, and Waste Management – urban services, PPPs, and circular economy solutions
- Tourism and Hospitality – eco-tourism, destination development, and hospitality infrastructure
- ICT and Digital Solutions – e-government, fintech, innovation, and skills development.
Zambia’s central location positions it as a land-linked hub connecting Southern, Central, and Eastern Africa, offering investors scale, connectivity, and long-term growth potential. The Government of Zambia welcomes partnerships that support sustainable development, value addition, and resilient supply chains, aligned with shared Indo-Pacific economic priorities.
