Honorary consul directs Jordanian exporters to Zambia market

AMMAN — Zambia is a promising market to Jordanian exporters, according to the honorary consul of Zambia to Jordan Yousef Uzaizi. He said Monday that medicines and agricultural products achieved positive results, noting that several companies signed contracts to export their products to Zambia benefiting from the economic growth the 14-million-people country has witnessed. The consul urged firms to tap religious tourism as Catholics are eager to visit the Christian holy places in the Kingdom, noting that Zambian officials who visited these sites are willing to organise religious trips to them. He said although the copper industry tops the Zambian economy, the country wants to encourage agriculture, but lacks technologies, especially in the fertilisers field. Uzaizi added that he started contacting Jordanian producers of fertilisers to acquaint them with export opportunities. Uzaizi also pointed to the construction sector as a potential area for Jordanian  contractors.
