Copper and Cobalt, the Country\u2019s traditional exports, account for well over 70 percent of export earnings. Zambia\u2019s Copper mines are concentrated in the Copperbelt Province, though the past decade has witnessed the establishment of mines in other parts of the Country such as the North-Western Province. Other mineral endowments include Gold, Zinc, Lead, Iron Ore, Manganese, Nickel, Feldspar, sands, Talc, Barite, Apatite, Limestone, Dolomite, Uranium, Coal, and gemstones (e.g. Diamonds, Emeralds, Aquamarine, Topaz, Opal, Agate and Amethysts). Notably, Zambia produces over 20% of the world\u2019s Emeralds with unutilized capacity to increase its production. This extensive range of mineral resources, including a variety of industrial minerals and energy resources such as Uranium, Coal and hydrocarbons present excellent investment opportunities especially in the area of extraction and processing of these minerals.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-TFEGLgnc e-con-full   e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"TFEGLgnc\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ZyEVYovV elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-align-left   elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ZyEVYovV\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-md\" href=\"#QMgzQVOU\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">More Details...<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-HGeFR14p   e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"HGeFR14p\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-core-v316-plus=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-PlZVjUiC e-con-full   e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"PlZVjUiC\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0wH0hlfU elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit   elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0wH0hlfU\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTourism\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fUHDz8Hp elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit   elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fUHDz8Hp\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"783\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/switchupgroup.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tourism_sector.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-140\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/switchupgroup.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tourism_sector.jpg 783w, https:\/\/switchupgroup.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tourism_sector-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/switchupgroup.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tourism_sector-768x669.jpg 768w, https:\/\/switchupgroup.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tourism_sector-600x523.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-T4EzcCjO e-con-full   e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"T4EzcCjO\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-MlgB8PXj elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit   elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"MlgB8PXj\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-vr41BhAn elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit   elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"vr41BhAn\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe tourism industry has grown over the past years, with the establishment of hotels in the major tourist centres such as Livingstone and Lusaka.

Zambia has about 6,000 MW unexploited hydro power potential due to abundant water resources, providing an opportunity for investment in hydro power generation. The demand for electricity has been growing at an average rate of 3% per annum, mainly due to increased economic activity in the Country, especially in the Agriculture, Manufacturing, and Mining sectors, respectively. The Country\u2019s growing population has also led to an increase in the demand for other sources of energy such as petroleum and solar energy for transportation and domestic use especially in rural areas, respectively. The state-owned ZESCO Ltd is the only entity that generates and transmit power, while companies such as the Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) procure power from ZESCO for sell to the mines.

It has abundant water resources for irrigation, as shown by the Country accounting for 40 percent of the water resource in the SADC region. Given its vast resource endowment, Zambia has huge potential to expand its agricultural production. Its climate follows a similar pattern to that of most Southern African countries, experiencing rainy seasons between the months of November and April. The dry season is characterized by low humidity between the months of May and November. The average temperature in the summer is 30\u00b0C and gets as low as 5\u00b0C in the winter.<\/p> <p>Despite the availability of vast arable land, transport infrastructure, availability of water, cheap labour, as shown by the fact that the Agricultural sector employs more than half of the total labour force, only 10 percent of the arable land is under cultivation. In that regard, the Government has established farming blocks to facilitate investment in
