Country Millers Limited domiciled in Western Zambia has emerged the first Zambian company to apply and pay for World Sustainability Organisation (WSO) certification of its Mongu Rice.
Western Province Tourism, Trade and Investment Expo’s coordinator Wamunyima Nyambe said on Wednesday that Country Millers had been one of the flag carriers of the North-Western expo, having been the first company to have its products on the shelves of an international chain store.
“We hope the strides by this local establishment to go international will inspire other local companies in Western Province to take this path to eminent growth by taking their products to international markets especially our immediate neighbours in Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Namibia and Zimbabwe,” Nyambe said.
He said WSO certification was an important milestone and an opportunity for growth as it opens a company’s products to larger global markets in partner networks across the world.

The Western Provincial administration held a Mini -Expo Exhibition in April, 2022 during which, one of the side events was the official launch of Country Millers Milling Plant by President Hakainde Hichilema.
Nyambe added that during his subsequent visit to the exhibition stands, President Hichilema, had come across a small-scale cashew-nut processor who had a raised a concern about lack of market access into the larger chain stores in the country, to which the President promised to take immediate remedial action, to ease the situation.
