In Rwanda, the tea sector spared by the coronavirus pandemic saw a marked increase during the first quarter of this year. It totals over 9,000 tonnes – revenue of more than US$27.6 million, which is up by 15% from the same period in 2019.
Zambia: overproduction of electrical energy
Zambia aims to increase its production tenfold by 2022 thanks to the renewable energy projects under development.
Already self-sufficient in electricity, Zambia wants to go further in its energy production. The country whose current production exceeds 80% stopped its imports in 2018.
And the authorities estimate that this production will be in surplus within the next 2 years. And to serve the entire population, particularly rural, the government is betting on off-grid and support for private companies.
