Experence in promotion of trade in Southern Africa

Board of Zambia (EBZ) is statutory body created under the Export Development Act of 1985 (as, amended by Act No, 29 of 1994) and became fully operational in April 1987. It reports to government through the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry and its mandate is that of developing and promoting non-traditional exports (NTEs) from Zambia into the international market. This was after realisation of the need to diversify Zambia's foreign exchange earning base and the need to diversity this base. In addition the fluctuations in the international commodity prices and the instability in the 70s and 80s exposed Zambia's foreign exchange vulnerability.
