Twenty-five Zimbabwean companies are currently in Zambia hunting for business partnerships in a high-stakes trade mission organized by ZimTrade, the country’s trade development and promotion agency.
The mission kicked off with a Services Business Forum in Lusaka, bringing together Zimbabwean and Zambian firms for intensive business-to-business (B2B) matchmaking sessions.
The focus is squarely on two key sectors: agriculture and building and construction services.
ZimTrade said the strong turnout from both sides signals a growing regional appetite for stronger commercial ties.

“We were happy to have a good turnout of local and Zambian businesses, underscoring a strong regional appetite for commercial engagement,” the agency said.
According to ZimTrade, the twenty-five Zimbabwean companies are already on the ground, working to establish strategic linkages, with B2B matchmaking heavily concentrated in agriculture and building and construction services.
The agency emphasised that the mission is designed to convert business engagements into tangible trade and investment outcomes that will benefit both economies.
“This mission marks a critical step forward in driving concrete bilateral trade and investment opportunities within the region,” ZimTrade added.
The B2B sessions are expected to allow Zimbabwean firms to showcase their expertise, identify potential partners.
Zambia remains an attractive destination for Zimbabwean businesses due to its geographic proximity, shared regional trade agreements.
