Agriculture remains a cornerstone, with maize, soybeans, groundnuts and horticulture providing both domestic food security and export potential.

Agro-processing do presents significant value addition, enhancing competitiveness and job creation.

Mining continues to drive the economy, particularly copper, cobalt and gemstones.

Strategic investment in mineral beneficiation and downstream processing can boost domestic industrial capacity and maximize export value.

The energy sector, especially renewables such as solar, hydro and biomass, presents huge opportunities to meet up with growing domestic demand while positioning Zambia as a regional green energy hub.

Tourism and hospitality, anchored on iconic attractions like Victoria Falls and national parks, hold untapped potential in eco-tourism and adventure tourism.

Other sectors such as manufacturing, Information Communication Technology (ICT), transport and financial services do offer some avenues for industrialization, innovation and regional trade expansion.

Leveraging these opportunities can drive economic diversification, create jobs and strengthen Zambia’s competitiveness in Southern Africa
