He said countries such as South Africa and China have shown interest in Zambia’s honey which shows that there is market.  

Mr Mapani also disclosed that China is looking forward to having more agreements with the Zambian Government to increase the supply of honey to their country.

He added that ZDA will engage all the relevant stakeholders to ensure they boost the honey industry in the country. 

Mr.Mapani further advised the country to invest more in agriculture as it has even more potential to become the country’s major source of income which will see the reduction of dependence on copper.
