The Private Sector Development Association (PSDA) will in the next 12 months start exporting various Zambian products to the United States of America (USA).

 

PSDA Chairperson Yusuf Dodia said the private sector in Zambia should be united and organised in order to access the international market and unlock numerous business opportunities in the USA.

ZANIS reports that commenting on the just ended Africa Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) forum held in Lusaka last week, Mr. Dodia said the forum provided an effective platform for local businesses to establish business links with the USA.

Mr. Dodia explained that local businesses will work with the Zambian Embassy in the USA to set up trade missions and conduct business in that region.

He expressed happiness at Government’s commitment to ensuring that Zambian producers and manufacturers have access to the American market
through the successful hosting of the AGOA forum.

Mr Dodia also urged local businesses to consistently improve on the quality of their products and production capacity in order to meet standards of the American Market.

The AGOA forum was held under the theme “Enhanced Trade Through Increased Competitiveness, Value addition and Deeper regional integration,” and drew over 3000 delegates from the 37 sub-Saharan eligible countries and the USA.

  1. Well done to all involved in the organisation of the AGOA conference. Now lets go out and do what matters most, putting words into action.

  2. What private sector in Zambia can export to USA, what finished products can be accepted in the usa, it is a pipedream Zambia even fails to attract tourists even from europe, just take a look at Kenya , Kenya is more attractive and is wellknown not Zambia

  3. But bamo ba fi color, they specialize in negativity kwena. Whatever happens, mpaka bafyailikishe something negative. Uleimwelamo bumbafu!

  4. Last Dec I went to this store to buy stuff to take to Zambia for friends and ofcourse relatives. I was delighted to see the label that read, made in swaziland. I know we zambians are knw for negativity and PHD syndrome, there are some of us who still believe in our beautiful country. I will support anybody who wants to sell stuff here in the US. If you cant do it dont think nobody else can. I end here.
