On 24 March 2026, Indaba Agricultural Policy Research Institute (IAPRI), a member centre of the Africa Network of Agricultural Policy Research Institutes (ANAPRI), convened a high-level stakeholder dialogue in Lusaka to examine Zambia’s agricultural trade policy environment at a critical moment for the country’s food system. The convening, held under the theme Zambia’s Agricultural Trade in the AfCFTA Era: A Dialogue on Agricultural Trade Policy Predictability and Market Confidence, brought together policymakers, private sector actors, farmer organisations, and regional partners to reflect on how Zambia can better align domestic market policies with emerging regional trade opportunities.
