Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry Chipoka Mulenga says all is set for the hosting of this year’s 56th Zambia International Trade Fair (ZITF) slated for 29th June to 5th July, 2022 in Ndola.
Mr. Mulenga says as at 8th June, 2022, the ZITF confirmed participation of 92 foreign companies from 13 countries, while local participation stands at 600 exhibitors bring the total confirmed participation to 692, with number expected to increase.
Speaking when he addressed journalists at a media briefing in Lusaka today, Mr. Mulenga says this year’s Zambia International Trade Fair will be held under the theme “promoting value addition for sustainable growth”.
He says the theme is befitting and resonates well with government’s agenda of fostering decentralization, industrialization and job creation, by encouraging the private sector to take an active role and become an engine for growth in economic activities for the country.
Mr. Mulenga adds that the focus on promotion of value addition resonates well with the government agenda of giving power to the people to ensure job creation through increased CDF and taking money where it is required most.
