ZAMBIA has increased the volume of its exports of non-traditional goods to Europe to a level now reaching more than $100-million, the Export Board of Zambia said on Monday. According to the EBZ, the European Union in general has become the largest market for Zambian non-traditional exports such as flowers, textiles, tobacco, coffee, cotton and vegetables. Of these items, high-value crops have been identified as paprika, marigold, essential oils, herbs, spices and roses, which are normally moved to Europe on special air charter flights arranged by the Zambian Export Growers’ Association.
