The conference was attended by delegates from the region and was graced by the Deputy Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry, Hon Miles Sampa, pictured together ABOVE. The conference theme was: “Positioning SADC Sugar Industries towards Sustainability”. A committee was formed to organise the conference, and Zambia Sugar took a leading role with other Zambian sugar industry players (sugar millers and sugar cane farmers’ associations). AT RIGHT: Hon.
