This edition highlights an often-overlooked yet essential part of supply chain management—packaging and storage. While transportation and procurement receive much of the attention, proper packaging and storage play a critical role in protecting products, reducing losses, improving efficiency, and ensuring customer satisfaction.

​

We explore the importance of understanding different storage requirements and the risks of a one-size-fits-all approach. This issue also brings you the latest Border News and Updates, including developments in regional trade, customs, and cross-border logistics.

We highlight the completion of Zambia’s largest fuel depot, efforts to promote local value addition in the copper industry, and key discussions from the PPD Mid-Year Private Sector Day. Our aviation and infrastructure coverage features TAAG’s new weekly freight flights from Angola and other developments supporting regional trade and economic growth.

​

Health, safety, and workplace wellbeing also remain a priority, with practical insights on safer work environments and the proper storage of consumable products. As Zambia’s supply chains continue to evolve, collaboration, innovation, and resilience remain vital to sustainable growth. We hope this edition provides valuable insights and keeps you informed on the developments shaping Zambia’s supply chain industry.
