INDUSTRY:
Zambia is rich in mineral resources with mining being the most important industry.
The Zambian oil industry is another important sector and while there have been no discoveries of oil or gas reserves, the Indeni Refinery provides most of the petroleum products required by the local market and export. In addition to the oil industry, Zambia has an active chemicals industry.
Zambia has large amounts of arable land, most of which has not yet been cultivated. Crops such as coffee, tobacco, maize, groundnuts, cotton, and sugar are being grown. Flowers and vegetables are also grown commercially.
