Join the Southern African-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK Southern Africa) and Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI) for the inaugural session of our new monthly webinar series, Sourcing from SADC, designed to introduce German companies to reliable sourcing opportunities across Southern Africa.
In this first session, we virtually travel to Zambia and Zimbabwe — two neighbouring markets that have made significant strides in recent years in the horticulture and food processing sectors. The session will feature insights from the Horticulture Development Council of Zimbabwe and the Zambia Association of Manufacturers (ZAM), highlighting export-ready products, supplier capabilities, and sector developments.
