In 2024, Zambia continued to heavily rely on imports for breakfast foods, with top suppliers being South Africa, Egypt, India, Malaysia, and Belgium. Despite a high concentration of market share, the industry experienced a negative compound annual growth rate of -3.22% from 2020 to 2024. The growth rate plummeted further in 2024, dropping by -13.97%. This indicates a challenging environment for breakfast food importers in Zambia, possibly influenced by various economic factors affecting trade dynamics.
