Government has revealed that it will reserve the chicken rearing, egg production and block making categories of investment for Zambians.
Small and Medium Enterprises SMEs minister Elias Mubanga says under one of the Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission CEEC Act, it stipulates that government under CEEC is mandated to reserve specific areas of commerce for targeted citizens.
Speaking in parliament during the questions for oral answer session, Mr. Mubanga however stated that the only challenge is that some targeted citizens and companies have limitations in skills and appropriate technology to meet the market demand.
He however says government is enhancing the production capacity of targeted citizens and Citizens Companies through the CEEC which is empowering SMEs and cooperatives in the quarry and bock making sector.
