Book 4

Over the first decade of the new millennium, Zambia's real GDP rose by 80%. Much of this rise came from the mining sector, but a substantial fraction came from the manufacturing sector, whose output rose by 50% in real terms over the decade. This volume provides a detailed account of Zambia's current industrial capabilities. From mining-related industries through general manufacturing, agribusiness and construction, it describes the structure of each of the country's major industries. It provides detailed profiles of fifty leading industrial companies that together represent the frontier of current capabilities in each area of activity. Along the way, it addresses key issues of current interest. * Where did the capabilities of Zambia's leading industrial companies come from? How many of these companies came from abroad? How many had their origins in the public sector? And how many were set up by domestic trading companies that began local manufacturing operations? * The copper industry generates three-quarters of Zambia's export earnings. But to what extent has Zambia developed downstream capabilities in the manufacture of copper products?
* How large a role is China playing in the flow of Foreign Direct Investment to Zambia? And in what industries are Chinese companies active? This is the fourth volume in John Sutton's "Enterprise Map" series, which profiles the industrial capabilities of selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Volumes on Ethiopia, Ghana and Tanzania have already appeared. The forthcoming fifth volume will be on Mozambique.

Mozambique's economy grew rapidly in the first decade of the millennium. Real GDP more than doubled, and this growth was widely spread across sectors: manufacturing output grew even faster than GDP, rising by a factor of 2.3 over the decade. A key economic question for Mozambique is whether this rate of growth can be sustained for another decade. Achieving this will require, among other things, a substantial advance in the country's industrial sector. It is timely, therefore, to ask some questions about Mozambiquan industry. What are Mozambique's current industrial capabilities? Where did these capabilities come from? What are the prospects for integrating local companies into the supply chain of the new offshore gas industry? This volume presents the first general overview of Mozambique's industrial sector, covering manufacturing, agri-business and construction. It describes each industry in detail, and profiles leading firms, setting out their current capabilities and the way in which these were developed. This is the fifth volume in John Sutton's 'Enterprise Map' series, which profiles the industrial capabilities of selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
