The Zambia Forestry and Forest Industries Corporation PLC (ZAFFICO) participated in the Zambia Outward Trade Mission to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from 16th to 18th October at Hypnose Mall, Lubumbashi. The trade mission was organized by the Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) as part of the Government’s efforts to support Zambian businesses in accessing export markets for their products and services. Over 40 enterprises from key sectors, including agro-processing, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, engineering, and other services, were involved.
ZAFFICO marketed its high-quality treated wooden poles, suitable for fencing, construction, transmission, and other purposes. In 2023, the Corporation invested USD 3 million to expand the capacity of its Pole Treatment Plant, increasing production capacity from 140,000 poles per annum to 260,000 poles. This expansion enables ZAFFICO to meet the growing demand in both local and regional markets.
