Mawadco Africa positions for Zambia's copper production surge
Zambia produced a record 890,346 tonnes of copper in 2025 and is targeting 1 million tonnes in 2026. KoBold Metals broke ground on the $2.3B Mingomba mine on 28 April 2026 — Mawadco Africa's Lusaka desk is aligned to the Copperbelt's investment cycle.
The future of African commodities in global markets
Africa's critical mineral exports are projected to grow up to 41% in 2026. Zambia targets 3 million tonnes of copper by 2031 — and the DRC-Zambia AfCFTA Transboundary SEZ is turning Copperbelt ore into battery precursors rather than raw exports.
Mawadco Africa strengthens pharmaceutical distribution partnerships in Zambia
Zambia is targeting local manufacture of 750 essential medicines and has restructured its national supply chain through ZAMMSA. Mawadco Africa's Lusaka-based distribution network is aligned to Zambia's 2026–2028 health commodity strategy.
