Zambia President Hakainde Hichilema officially commissioned the K130 million multi fruit processing Kalene Hills Fruit Factory in Mwinilunga yesterday.

The 100 percent Zambian-owned business being developed by IDC will process a variety of fruits and other farm produce such as beans, groundnuts and tomatoes using small scale farmers as suppliers.

Hichilema said the smart investment will contribute to changing the economic face of Mwinilunga, the North Western Province and Zambia at large.

He added that the project is another example of his government working tirelessly to create a more conducive and inclusive business environment.
