Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) says there is need for a mindset change for the success of the agribusiness incubator in North-Western Province planned to be developed by the end of the first quarter of 2019.
ZDA Enterprise Development Director, Mukula Makasa said the concept of the Timbali Agribusiness incubation model will only be possible if the entrepreneurs develop a business mind as not everyone is born an entrepreneur.
Mr. Makasa said the incubator will not only bring development but also empower the small micro businesses to overcome some hurdles they face in the province.
He said the incubator project will incorporate 60 percent of youths as it is also a way of job creation and income generation.
Mr. Masaka said the province is surrounded by great potential markets in Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo therefore, it is about time that a local content strategy is developed.
He said this at a business linkages meeting in Solwezi today with various Stakeholders.
Meanwhile, North-Western Province Chamber of Commerce President, Josephine Makondo said there has been too much talk about the incubator therefore, it is about time that everything is implemented.
Ms. Makondo has called on the private sector to take advantage of the project and support the development of the incubator.
Let’s incubate CHILDISH, he might grow up MENTALLY.
