Zambia to boost Congo’s exports to $2billion
Zambia plans to
boost its exports to the Democratic Republic of Congo to more than $2
billion this year from $1.2 billion in 2009, taking advantage of the
flexible trade terms, Trade Minister Felix Mutati said on Thursday.
Mr. Mutati said
exports to the DRC, Zambia’s largest trading partner in the African
trading bloc COMESA, had continued to increase because there were no
restrictions on goods it could export to its neighbour.
“The advantage of the DR Congo is that the range of exports is from
agricultural products through to processed items, machinery and
literally anything we can produce in Zambia,” he said at a media
briefing.
