3 FOREWORD To stimulate sustained growth in Zambia s export sector, the Government of the Republic of Zambia under the leadership of His Excellency, Mr. Edgar Lungu, President of the Republic of Zambia, is working towards strengthening the productive capacities and expansion of markets in order to stimulate the growth of Zambia s Non Traditional Export sector and ultimately, enhance foreign exchange earnings to support efforts directed at enhancing economic growth and development. In order to achieve these objectives, the Government has embraced a liberal policy regime to facilitate inter alia access to technology and capital goods, while actively pursuing market access opportunities for Zambian goods and services. Through active engagement in initiatives at the bilateral, regional, and international level, Zambia has been able to secure market access opportunities under arrangements such as the Generalized System of Preference Schemes maintained by Developed Countries, which include the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA), and the Everything But Arms (EBA) Initiative. Furthermore, Zambia has market access to the free trade arrangements under the Common Market for East and Southern Africa (COMESA) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) as well as the Tripartite Free Trade Area which is an economic grouping encompassing SADC, COMESA and the East African Community. The advantage of this free trade area over SADC and COMESA is that it gives a much larger market. The Government is also actively pursuing market access opportunities at the bilateral level with a view to increasing opportunities for expanded markets. In pursing these initiatives, emphasis is placed on value addition as an effective mechanism to create sustained jobs and wealth. The resulting effect is reflected in the positive performance recorded over the past five years in NTEs which have grown at an average of 24% per annum from US$1.4 billion in 2010 to US$ 3.5 billion by The main NTEs that have recorded significant growth over the years include; cement, lime, wheat, burley tobacco, gemstones, copper wire, electrical cables, cane sugar and cotton lint. The regional market has increasingly become a significant destination of Zambia s NTEs. Other notable markets include the People s Republic of China and the European Union. It is also worth noting that although a decline of about 32%, was recorded in 2014, the Government has continued and will continue to promote the growth of NTEs as part of the overall objective of reducing over dependency on Copper export earnings. The Patriotic Front (PF) Government has observed that Zambia s export portfolio is still highly dependent on mineral exports, making the economy highly susceptible to external shocks such as global demand and price volatilities. In this regard, the Government has taken particular interest in developing not only the urban areas but also the rural parts of Zambia and opening them up, by improving the road network as part of the country s industrialisation programme. Consequently, the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry embarked on creating a resource map in all the districts and provinces in order to create export oriented industries for identified products with immense export potential while creating the necessary linkages with the rest of the economy to ensure sustained economic growth and development. The resource endowment mapping for all the 10 provinces and the respective districts has been completed with plans to support production of up to five (5) products in each province and district. The production from the clusters will be linked to products of export potential based on Zambia s comparative and competitive advantages Exporter Directory

4 In this regard, the Ministry has already received confirmation of support from UNIDO, WTO (EIF and ITC), World Bank, African Development Bank and the Government of Finland towards the support of this programme. As a way of promoting growth of manufactured products that will stimulate exports, the Ministry is also facilitating the development of Multi-Facility Economic Zones (MFEZ) and Industrial parks. These include Chambishi, Lusaka South, Lusaka East and Lumwana MFEZs. Industrial parks include Sub-Sahara Gem Exchange and Roma Park. I am confident that this exporter directory will serve as a useful resource for Zambia s trading and investment partners to establish the necessary business linkages and tap into Zambia s vast trade and investment opportunities. Thank you. Hon. Margaret D. Mwanakatwe (MP) MINISTER OF COMMERCE, TRADE AND INDUSTRY 2015 Exporter Directory 4

5 Director General s Message Dear Reader, Within its mandate of fostering economic growth and development, the Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) has put in place strategies to promote exports of Non Traditional products. The development and promotion of exports of manufactured goods in priority sectors is among others, one of the strategies that is intended to increase the volume of Non-traditional exports across sectors. In the promotion of Non Traditional products, we build the capacity of firms to export readiness through product development and adaptation and also market identification and access. We also undertake export market surveys prior to organizing trade missions which enable companies to showcase their products to potential buyers. The Directory of Zambian exporters is a virtual market that provides visibility of Zambian products on the global market. More exporters are making good use of online and non-online export directories to reach out to their potential buyers. In view of this, ZDA, in promotion and facilitation of exports has found it necessary to produce the second Directory of Zambian exporters in order to provide consistent and accurate information on exports to various potential and existing importers The Directory of Zambian Exporters is just one way through which ZDA intends to promote exports of Non Traditional products. Zambian exporters and export products are showcased at prestigious trade events including the Botswana Global Expo, the Feira International de Maputo in Mozambique, the Saba Saba International Trade Fair in Tanzania, the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair, the Malawi International Trade Fair, and, the Africa Big Seven and SAITEX in South Africa. Solo exhibitions and trade Missions are also held annually in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of Congo, and in Luanda Angola. Zambia also regularly showcases at the China International Trade and Investment Fair in Xiamen. I invite importers to visit the Zambian pavilion at these events. I trust that you will find this directory useful. Patrick.D.Chisanga DIRECTOR GENERAL ZAMBIA DEVELOPMENT AGENCY Exporter Directory

33 Electricity Background The major distribution networks falls under the Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO) the national electricity utility, which was successfully commercialised in The corporation operates and maintains a high voltage transmission system. It is also responsible for all electrical power imports and exports in the country and provides retails services to all but the largest mining customers on the Copperbelt. Industry Structure The electricity supply industry in Zambia mainly comprises of a vertically integrated state utility, Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation, and an energy service company, Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) that purchases power from ZESCO and supplies it to the mines. In addition, Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company, an independent power producer and some smallscale solar based energy service companies supply power to some rural areas. ZESCO has total generation capacities of 1, 841 MW hydro and 8 MW diesel, and representing 99% and 1 % of generation mix, respectively. Additionally, the company owns approximately 39,000 km of power transmission and distribution lines and has an installed substation capacity of 5,000 MVA in power transformation. ZESCO has four licenses for its strategic business units of generation, transmission, distribution, and supply. It is legally mandated to apply annually for tariff adjustments under the Electricity Act. The sustained economic growth in Zambia has necessitated the need for ZESCO to embark on various generation, transmission and distribution projects in order to meet theincreased demand for electricity. Zambia has abundant energy resources with huge hydro power resource potential. Generation is mainly from Kafue Gorge, Kariba North Bank, Victoria Falls and other three hydro power stations Exporter Directory

34 The last five years have seen dramatic rises in the cost of major inputs (copper, steel, aluminium and oil) in the manufacture of electrical equipment used by ZESCO. This is translated into the increases in the cost of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Although ZESCO has been mitigating the price increases as a result of higher cost of materials and oil with cost reduction and control measures, these rising costs have resulted into ZESCO s operating costs increasing substantially. Notwithstanding the recorded steady economic growth, the majority of Zambians still do not have access to electricity. The national rate of access to electricity is currently at 20 %, with an access rate of 40 % in urban and peri-urban areas, and a 2 % access rate in rural areas of the country. Electricity is predominantly consumed by the mines, accounting for just over 50 % followed by industrial and agricultural customers that take up about 23 % of total consumption. Households consume about 16 % of the total amount of electricity sold. In order to avert the power deficit in the generation capacity of electricity which has come about due to the non-development of the new generation, ZESCO has embarked on the expansion of Kariba North Bank Power Station and construction of Itezhi-tezhi Power Station. The current life line tariff is also being reviewed and measure being put in place to replace it with a more efficient and broader social tariff structure that will cut down on the existing high levels of cross subsidization and target the intended beneficiaries. This is expected to help reduce the strain on utilities revenues. ZESCO also remained susceptible to exchange rate movements as most of its transactions are foreign currency. In order to address the above challenges, ZESCO has embarked on short-term and long term strategies aimed at increasing generation capacity and promotion of use of energy saving methods. Production Capacity 42 ZESCO is a member of the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), the SADC region's electricity market. ZESCO's power system is connected to Zimbabwe through the 330 kilovolts interconnector at Kariba, to Congo DR through the 220 kilovolts Victoria Falls-Katima Mulilo interconnector at Sesheke. The interconnection to these countries means that ZESCO is able to engage in power trade and import power when faced with a power deficit. Zambia's biggest hydropower station is Kafue Gorge at 990 megawatts while Kariba North Bank comes second at 720 megawatts, with Victoria Falls at 108 megawatts and little known Lusiwasi at 12 megawatts. Export Markets Key export markets for electricity export were Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Congo DR, Tanzania, South Africa and Mozambique.. The export earnings of ZESCO increased from US$75.56 million in 2013 to US$82.00 million in The increase in export of electricity is largely attributed to increased power generation as a result of on-going rehabilitations and up-grading of the power plants around the country. The main export markets included the Democratic Republic of Congo with 64.85% of the total market share, followed by Namibia at 22.86%, Botswana with 6.24%, Zimbabwe with 3.64%, Mozambique 2 % and Tanzania at 0.42% Exporter Directory 34

42 Floriculture and Horticulture Floriculture Background The Zambian Floriculture sector is largely related with summer flowers and cut flowers. Supported by climate conditions that favor growth, production of fresh flowers has steadily been increasing, with floriculture becoming one of Zambia s leading export subsectors. Cut flowers comprise mainly roses that are usually grown for export by key exporters namely Ambrosia, Annabel farm, Dalyrose Limited, Enviro Flor, Esquire Roses, Floribo (z), Gwaza Holdings, Hortil Limited Jakana Estates, Khalamazi among others. Most companies in this sector maintain their membership with the Zambia Export Growers Association (ZEGA) which is a professional and independent body that seeks to promote the interests of all growers wishing to export fresh produce from Zambia. ZEGA aims at producing an efficient and adequate air freight service to exporters, technical support services and training to members, advice on sources of finance and information on marketing opportunities. It has developed a uniform standard to protect the image of Zambian Fresh Produce Exporters in the export market. The following standards have been included in the ZEGA code of conduct: storage, use and disposal of pesticides; workers welfare; good agricultural practice and protection of the environment; and due diligence in the production, harvesting, grading and packaging of produce. There are over 60 types of roses which include tropical amazon, golden gate, red calypso, first red, poeme, noblesse, prophyta and tyneke. Other varieties are baroness, supplesse, golden times, grandgalla, sapphire and akito. While the main varieties of summer flowers include hypericums, solidago, rudbekia and liatris. Export Markets In 2014, export earnings recorded from the sector amounted to US$ million compared to the previous year s earnings of US$ million denoting a decrease 56.9% %. The sector made a marginal contribution of 0.56 % to total non-traditional export earnings in The major export markets for Zambia s floricultural products in the period under review were Netherlands, Germany,United Kingdom, South Africa, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

43 Horticulture The horticulture sector is of great importance to the Zambian economy in that it does not only contribute to income generation and poverty reduction but also generates employment. The sector employs well over 8,000 people of which more than 50% are women. These women are widely engaged during growing and packing stages of the chain. Most of the employees on the horticulture farms support an average extended family, which effectively increases the total number of people whose livelihoods depend on earnings from these sectors. The industry has a total estimated irrigated land exceeding 5,000 hectares. One of the prime areas of expansion has been in the growing of fresh vegetables and development in the sector has been marked by investment in year- round irrigated mechanized production by medium and large scale farmers. Zambia s horticulture sector also comprises commercial companies who grow mainly for the export market and small scale farmers who mainly grow for the domestic market. Most of the growers are members of ZEGA and implement the ZEGA code of practice. The vegetable producers also engage out grower schemes which ensure production and volumes. This provides another alternative for economically empowering the low-income group in the country. Firms intervene in provision of seeds, fertilizers, training and other forms of support. They strictly supervise the growing of vegetables to ensure that international market phytosanitary standards are well met. Thus apart from ensuring food security for small growers, 55 economic empowerment is guaranteed. The horticulture product range includes the following fresh vegetables and fruits; asparagus mange tout, sugar snap, peas fine and bobby beans, baby corn, courgettes, tender stem broccoli, okra, passion fruit, spring onions, patty pan squash, egg plant, mushrooms, cucumbers, baby carrots, leeks and various types of chilies. Industry Structure The Government of the Republic of Zambia and the Zambia Export Growers Association influences the local business environment. Export products include baby corn, fine beans, baby carrots, asparagus, runner beans, sugar snaps, tender stem broccoli, okra, mange tout peas, passion fruit, spring onions, chilies, Patti pans, in excess of 60 varieties of roses, and summer flowers such as hypericums, solidago, rudbekia, liatris, etc. The relatively high profile and reputable track record of the Zambian vegetable sector has won the confidence of major UK multiples. Quite a considerable volume is now being exported in high care form for these multiples whose requirements are fairly difficult to meet, especially in terms of food safety, hygiene, and traceability throughout the value chain. The horticulture product range includes the following fresh vegetables and fruits; asparagus mange tout, sugar, snap peas fine and bobby beans, baby corn, courgettes, tender stem broccoli, okra, passion fruit, spring onions, patty pan squash, egg plant, mushrooms, cucumbers, baby carrots, leeks and various types of chilies. Export Markets The main exporting companies in 2014 included York Farm, Khal Amazi, Chesney Derrick Middleton, Klein Karoo and Nkanga Farms Limited. In 2014, export earnings in this sector amounted to US$ 13.1 million compared to the previous year s earnings of US$ million representing a decrease of %. The sector made a marginal contribution of 0.53 % to the total export earnings in The main export markets for the horticultural products were Congo DR, United Kingdom, South Africa, Germany, Netherlands, Congo Brazzaville and Angola Exporter Directory

44 The horticulture sector of Zambia has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years. Export volumes in 2003 were 8,588 tones of vegetables and 4,011 tones of cut flowers. Eighty percent of vegetables are destined for the UK, while seventy percent of cut flowers go to Holland. The industry is comprised of 26 exporters all registered with the ZEGA association. Most farms are within a radius of 60km from Lusaka International Airport.

47 Garments and Textile Industry Background The Zambian Textiles and Garments Industry is largely cotton based and encompass cotton ginning, spinning, weaving, dying and printing. Its importance not only lies in its capacity to contribute to the economy through foreign exchange earnings but also its ability to create employment, attract investment and spur industrial growth through backward linkages in cotton ginning and forward linkages in weaving an garment production. The abundant good arable land and plenty of sunshine successfully enables the growth of long fiber cotton that gives Zambian producers a competitive advantage. Industry Structure The private sector has taken up support to out grower schemes in order to stimulate the sector further. The Zambian Textile producers see themselves as customized producers that are able to tailor their production to meet the changing buyer s requirements in the export market. Most companies have been able to build very strong relations with their customers, which has carried them through many global challenges affecting the sector, including price shocks. For the garment manufacturers, vast growth opportunities exist under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) of the United States of America. Zambia, being one of the beneficiaries still has the best windows for investment opportunities for AGOA production. The country has now embarked on strategies aimed at unlocking potential in specific sub- sectors with a view to maximize the benefits offered under the various market access preferences. Due to increasing buyer requirements and in their effort to beat buyers expectations, most Zambian garments manufacturers have embraced WRAP, which is certification mark for responsible apparel manufacturing which regard to consumer health, environmental safety and social concerns. Zambian textiles products include: cotton lint, cotton yarn, acrylic yarn, loom state cotton fabric, African prints (Chitenge) poly/cotton fabric, polyester fabric, poly/viscose fabric, cotton canvass fabric, terry toweling, bed linen, kitchen linen, polypropylene cloth and bags, cotton and nylon ropes and twine, blankets, polythene bags, fishing nets, tents and tarpaulins. The common garments include; hospital uniforms, security uniforms, industrial uniforms, dust coats, shirts, trousers, overalls, traditional African attire and embroidery, casual wear, t-shirts and work suits Exporter Directory

51 Gemstones Background Zambia is endowed with significant variety of high-quality gemstones throughout the country, notably emerald, tourmaline, aquamarine, amethyst, garnet, citrine, topaz, agate, rose and crystal quartz, malachite and beryl. The country boasts of being endowed with the second largest share of emeralds deposits in the world and produces about 20 % of the global emerald supply. There is still very little value addition being done to the gemstones as most of it is being exported in their natural raw form. The structure under which gemstones are produced and marketed is failing to maximize revenue for government and is instead leading to losses through under declaration and smuggling. In order to achieve proper regulation as a result of the sector not being well regulated, there is need to enact separate laws from the laws that govern base metals. Industry Structure The industry currently has several producer associations namely Association of Women in Mining, Federation of Small Scale Miners Association of Zambia, Zambia Gemstone Miners Traders and Jewellers Marketing Association and Kalomo Miners Association. Others are entities that operate as companies and these include Kagem Mining, Kariba Minerals, Gramiraj Investment Limited, Grizzly Mining Zambia Limited, Zambezi Jewels, Jewel of Africa, Jagoda Gems Limited, Southstreams Limited and Fantasy Gems Exporter Directory

The main associations in the handicraft sector are Handicraft Association of Zambia, Handicraft Producers Association of Zambia, Kabwata Visual Arts and Crafts Association, Chawama Arts and Curious Association and Lilanda Arts Association of Zambia. The sector also has various other small groups involved in handicraft production. Constraints affecting the sector include low production capacity due to diminishing traditional craft skills, poor product finishing, lack of access to finance and marketing knowledge. The major markets for most of these items are Europe and America and the producers of these items complain of transport logistics to the said markets. Industrial Structure The handicrafts sector comprises specialized baskets, wood and stone carvings, clay products, metallic and gemstones products, ethnic jewelry, furniture items, African batiks (textile), copper art works and paint works on canvas and bark cloth. There is a growing trend amongst the producers to combine handicraft with fashion, this is signifying progression towards value addition and product differentiation Exporter Directory

56 Export Markets In 2014, the handicraft sector exports were valued at US $ 356,358 in contrast to the 2013, export earnings which amounted to US$ million. The extremely impressive performance of the sector in 2013 is attributed to the United Nations World Tourism Organization Conference which was hosted by Zambia in As in the previous years, the sector continued to produce specialized baskets, wood and stone carvings, clay products, metallic and gemstones products, ethnic jewelry, furniture items, African batiks (textile), copper art works and paint works on canvas and bark cloth. The handicrafts in 2014 were destined for several countries which included United States of America, South Africa, United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Austria, Hungary, France, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Czech Republic, Belgium, Kenya, Canada, Netherlands and Japan.

59 Leather and Leather Products Background The leather industry in Zambia is based on the livestock and wildlife as sources of raw materials, comprising mainly bovine hides, sheep and goat skins and crocodile skins as well as skins from wild animals. Zambia currently has five tanneries, with total installed capacity of 1,700 hides per day and utilisation standing at 65%. This has seen a steady increase from 23% in Key export products from the sector include crocodile skins, wet blue leather, crust, finished leather and leather goods. Specific products include printed leather (military), corrected grain (plain), corrected grain crust, crust lining, hunting calf, black splits, upholstery, vegetable kips, vegetable sole leather, moccasin suede, laminated football leather, industrial gloves/splits and insoles. Key leather goods include footwear, bags, gloves and protective clothing, soccer balls and household décor items. Key constraints affecting the sector during the year under review included inadequate supply of raw hides and skins due to low off take. The low off take is precipitated by the low quality of hides and skins as a result of tick bites and unsystematic branding. Collection is also made difficult due to inadequate numbers of slaughter slabs in the country. The quality of hides and skins has also been compromised by damages caused by low flaying skill levels in abattoirs and inadequate flaying equipment, particularly pneumatic knives. Tanneries are also challenged by inadequate and old machinery and technologies that are not commensurate to current market demand. Low levels of skills have had a negative impact on productivity as well as the ability of tanners to maximise the full potential of available technologies and machinery. High import duties for production components such as laminated Kambrelleting, steel mid-saw plates and laces resulting in high cost of production. The components and chemicals are imported mostly from India and China; therefore they enter the Zambian market at Most- Favoured Nation rates Exporter Directory

60 Industry Structure The major players in the sector include Chipaya Zambia Limited, Zamleather, Zongwe Farming, Zambeef and Tata Tanners. The leather industry in Zambia is based on the livestock and wildlife as sources of raw materials, comprising mainly bovine hides, sheep and goat skins and crocodile skins as well as skins from wild animals Specific products include printed leather (military), corrected grain (plain), corrected grain crust, crust lining, hunting calf, black splits, upholstery, vegetable kips, vegetable sole leather, moccasin suede, laminated football leather, industrial gloves/splits and insoles.

62 Mining Background The mining industry has been the economic and social backbone of Zambia since the first major phase of exploitation of the Copperbelt s copper and cobalt deposits commenced in the early 1930 s. The industry has the greatest potential to spearhead employment generation in the economy. It is both a direct employer with the capacity to employ large numbers of people and a stimulator of jobs in the various associated sectors such as manufacturing, financial services, research and development and construction. The main constraints affecting the sector include high cost of production, unstable exchange rate, few copper processing plants, long delivery time and high import duties on machinery. Industry Structure The major players in the mining sector are; Kansanshi Mining PLC, Mopani Copper Mines PLC, Konkola Copper Mines, Genesis Procurement Limited and San He Limited. The main products are gold, precious metals, Manganese ore and Silica Sands.ca The sector recorded export earnings of US$190.9 million in 2014 compared to US$51.26million in 2013, indicating an increase of 372 %.

70 Petroleum Products Background Zambia s petroleum products are wholly imported and there is a huge potential for renewable energy sources. Petroleum and coal are mainly used in commerce and industry. Zambia's total petroleum requirements are met through imports because the country does not have any proven reserves of crude oil. The petroleum industry in Zambia is made up of TAZAMA Pipelines, which is owned, by the Governments of Zambia and Tanzania, Indeni Refinery, which is jointly owned by the Government of Zambia and an international oil company, Total Outre mer and the Ndola Fuel Terminal, which is also owned by the Government of Zambia. There are 18 Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) involved in the distribution and retailing of petroleum products. The downstream is also made of various fuel transporters and dealers contracted by OMCs to transport fuel by road from the fuel terminal and operate service stations respectively. The wholesale petroleum prices are regulated by the ERB due to the monopolistic nature of the industry. Indeni currently carries out the importation of feedstock. With respect to pump prices, the Government liberalized pump prices in June 2001 as part of its economic reforms. ERB therefore takes on an ex-post monitoring role for pump prices whilst regulating ex-refinery gate prices. There are established margins for OMCs, dealers and transporters and ERB ensures that prices remain in a reasonable band to ensure that the consumer is not overcharged. The petroleum products portfolio in Zambia falls under the Ministry of Energy and Water Development which provides policy framework and monitors policy implementation. The subsector like all sectors of the economy has been liberalized. Therefore, in order to ensure that both consumers and energy undertakings derive maximum benefit from this shift in policy, an energy regulator known as the Energy Regulation Board was set up in Industry Structure 2015 Exporter Directory 70

71 Industry Structure All Oil Marketing Companies in Zambia are required to be registered with the Energy Regulation Board as indicated under the Energy Regulatory. All petroleum products are currently imported in the form of spiked crude oil transported through the TAZAMA pipeline and refined at INDENI Petroleum Refinery. The Oil Marketing Companies uplift the refined products from the Ndola Fuel Terminal and distribute them for sale to service stations and commercial customers such as the mines. Oil Marketing Companies can also import processed petroleum products by rail and road, but prefer to uplift the product from Ndola Fuel Terminal due to the fact that the landed cost of products imported by rail and road is relatively higher than the ex-refinery gate price. The major players in the Petroleum industry are Tazama Petroleum Products Limited, Spectra Oil Corporation Limited, Total Zambia Limited, Afrox Zambia Limited and AGS Trading Limited. In 2014, export earnings recorded were US$19.5 million compared US$64.66 million recorded in 2013 representing a reduction of 69.8 %. The major export markets for petroleum products from Zambia are Congo DR, Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The main export products were Petroleum gases, Oils, Lubricating grease and fuel oils. The Petroleum Oil Sector has experienced challenges such as poor infrastructure, high and unstable exchange rates, security of supply and restrictive import regulations in target markets Exporter Directory

74 Primary Agriculture Background Primary agriculture is one of the critical sectors contributing greatly to Zambia s economic development, more so to Non- Traditional exports. In the past few years, the agriculture sector has recorded tremendous growth both in terms of national production as well as export earnings especially in the major export products that include Tobacco, Cotton and Coffee. Other products in the sector include maize, tea, sorghum, beans, millet, groundnuts, rice, seed and wheat. The seed sector has also become increasingly important not only in Zambia but also within the region. The agriculture sector has continued to be a key sector in the development process of Zambia. As such the sector has continued to receive priority attention by the government through increased budget support aimed at increasing agriculture productivity to ensure food security, income generation, creation of employment opportunities and poverty reduction. In 2014, the agriculture sector grew by 93.89% compared to 72.54% in This was greatly attributed to increased output in maize which grew by 8.0% to a record of 3.0 million metric tonnes. Other crops that contributed to this increase include wheat, soya beans, Irish potatoes, sorghum, virgina tobacco, burley tobacco and groundnuts. The increase in production was largely due to favorable weather conditions as well as increased number of beneficiaries under the Farmer Input Support Programme from 500,000 to 890,000. Below is a summary of the selected crops performance in the past three seasons Exporter Directory

75 Tobacco This sector is comprised of commercial, medium and small scale farmers. The sector produces approximately 38.3 Metric tonnes annually of which 37.5 Metric tonnes representing 98% is exported. The subsector has in the past few years been contributing largely to export earnings with future projections showing further growths. New entrants in the subsector have immensely contributed towards increased yields and subsequent export earnings. Cotton Lint The Zambian cotton sector has during the last several years recorded consistent growth in production. It is estimated that nearly 1,400,000 people out of a total national population of 10,500,000(13.5%) are directly dependent on the cotton industry for part of or their entire livelihood. This shows how critical the cotton sector is to the overall contribution to economic growth. The subsector has received a massive investment from new and existing players. New ginneries have been set up as well as more farmers have ventured into cotton growing. Coffee This sector is regulated by the coffee board of Zambia with the marketing activities coordinated by the Zambia Coffee Growers Association. Currently there are 70 large scale coffee growers and 500 small coffee growers. Coffee growers in Zambia are concentrated around Lusaka, Mazabuka, Mkushi, Copperbelt, Luapula and Northern Provinces. Tea The sector has one significant company called Kawambwa Tea which runs a plantation in Luapula Province in Zambia. The company has plans to expand its production. Maize Maize is Zambia staple crop and is grown in almost all parts of the country. However vast commercial farming is concentrated along the line of rail and the northern part of Zambia. Small scale farmers produce about 70% of national production Exporter Directory

80 Processed and Refined Foods Industry Background The processed foods sector has been identified has been identified as one of the priority growth sectors by the Sixth National Development Plan (SNDP) as well as the Zambia Development Agency Act. This is primarily because it provides forward and backward linkages with other sectors such as agriculture, fisheries and livestock. The processed and refined foods sector is therefore well placed to stimulate development by increasing employment in the agriculture and manufacturing sector, promoting skills and technological transfer and thereby reducing the poverty levels in Zambia. Zambia possesses great potential for developing a diversified range of products for export as her prospects for agricultural growth and development of related agro processing industries are good. This is evidenced by the fact that the country is abundantly endowed with the natural resources needed for agriculture development; a good climate, plenty of arable land and abundant water resources. Industry Structure The premier export earner of this sector is the sugar industry, with other important industries involved in grain milling (both maize and wheat). Other products include tomato pates, jam, peanut butter, dried fruits and vegetables, sun dried tomatoes, pineapple chunks, baked beans, onion and tomato mix. Value addition to locally produced products, the agro processing sector through processing is the key linkage to primary sectors like agriculture offering potential avenues for product development. In 2014, the sector s export earnings fell by 33.3 % from US$ million in 2013 to US$ million in the year under review. Having experienced a major growth in the preceding year, the major fall in the year under review was attributed to the depreciation of the Kwacha which led to the increase in the cost of imported inputs and transportation within the country. This ultimately caused the commodities produced to be more expensive than before and therefore less competitive on the international market. In terms of contribution to the NTE earnings, the sector contributed 15.65% The major exports markets for the processed and refined food sector were the Congo DR, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya, Burundi, Congo Brazzaville and Rwanda. The main export products were cane molasses, raw cane sugar, oil cake, wheat flour, bran, sunflower seed and oil, animal feed, soya bean flour, butter, cheese, yogurt, bees wax, jams and fruit jellies Exporter Directory

88 Wood and Wood Products Background Zambia is well endowed with forest resources that play an important role in the development of the national economy and in improving the living standards of people. The wood and wood products industry is highly fragmented comprising of several pit-sawyers especially those exploiting indigenous species that tend to have limited capacity to process timber further in order to add value to it. These are mostly located in Western, Southern, Eastern and North- Western provinces. On other hand, the major players in the industry have invested in modern machinery for processing of timber into value added finished products. The products manufactured and exported in this industry, include particleboards, railway sleepers, soft and hardwood-sawn timber, treated transmission poles, doors and frames, parquet tiles and edge glued panels. Other products are: garden tables, benches, timber frame houses and laminated kitchen boards. Industry Structure The industry currently has two producer associations namely Timber Producers Association of Zambia and Lumber Millers Association. It is dominated by the following exporting companies; Bisonite Zambia Plc, Sikale Wood Limited, Mangamu Timbers, Fallsway Timber Ltd, Copperbelt Forestry Timbers, Lithoprint Investment, Sasha Timbers, Setrec Steel and Wood Processing Ltd. Constraints affecting the sector include intermittent power supply cuts, high cost of transporting, lack of cheaper development finance to source value adding equipment, absence of downstream industries, illegal timber exploitation and under-valuing of harvested timber. This has perpetuated a cycle of poverty by forcing local pit sawyers to cut down and pre-process unsustainable amounts of timber in order to maintain their levels of income Exporter Directory 88

89 Export Markets The top ten products exported by this sector included wood, US $ 4.4, coniferous wood sawn or chipped lengthwise US $ 3.1 million, boards of wood US $ 718,368, coniferous hoopwood US$ 433,284, pallets, box pallets and other wooden boards US $ 315,120, particle boards US $ 206,403, wooden furniture US $ 143,686, other wooden articles US $86,436, densified wood US $ 81,271 and rough treated wood US $ 51,398. The top exporting companies in this sector were Fullsum Investment Company Limited, Sikale Wood Manufacturers Limited, Han Tang Timber Zambia Limited, Wood Processing Industries Limited, Copperbelt Forestry Company Limited, Yolon Zambia Limited, Timber Junction Zambia Limited, Joshma Investments Limited, Huage Holdings International Limited and Bisonite Zambia Limited. This sector recorded a decline from the previous year s US $ million earnings to a low US $10.01 million in The most notable major constraint faced by the wood exporters was the continued prevalence of the ban on timber exports in 2014 which inevitably hampered the sector from exporting as many wood and wood products as had been possible in the year 2012 when earnings were soaring as high as US $ million.
