Over 700 000 Zambians have been affected with homes and thousands of acres of crops destroyed. This is a serious situation as grain shortages in Zimbabwe and Zambia are reaching critical levels.

The Chinese firm is part of the Zambia-China Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone which is attracting private investment to Zambia.

Zambia and China have a firm friendship and China has continuously shown its commitment to helping Zambia develop socially and economically. It has aided the country with medical advice and medical equipment during the Covid-19 crisis. And now has given the most welcome donation of mielie-meal.
