“BUY LOCAL TO SUPPORT JOBS”
By Chanesa Tembo
Zambia Association of Manufacturers -ZAM- Acting Chief Executive Officer LEWIS CHIMFWEMBE has urged Zambians to buy local products for improved job creation and sustainable economic development.
Mr. CHIMFWEMBE says ZAM has noted that Zambia’s manufacturing sector is this year expected to perform better than the past few years despite the covid-19 pandemic.
He says local companies should also consider improving the quality of local products for improved value addition.
Mr. CHIMFWEMBE told ZNBC news that high quality products will at least be able to compete on the international market and enhance the country’s foreign exchange.
