Through the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGI), the United States is working to help expand the Lobito Corridor trade route that links Angola, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This flagship project, anchored in core rail investments, is a transformative economic corridor that connects the region. The project also accelerates trade and the growth of key sectors supporting the economic diversification and development priorities of African leaders.
🚆 Faster Access to Markets: A more direct route to ports and markets reduces transportation times and helps farmers get their produce to customers faster.
🚢 More Export Opportunities: By linking the Atlantic and Indian oceans, the Lobito Corridor will open new export routes, giving farmers access to new markets.
📦 More Agribusiness Investments: The Lobito Corridor will attract investments in agribusiness, including processing facilities and storage units, boosting the value chain for agricultural products.
🌾 Reduced Crop Loss: Using the corridor will reduce the time goods spend in transit, minimizing spoilage, and boost farmers’ incomes by ensuring more fresh produce reaches the market.
💪 Stronger Supply Chains: Upgraded logistics networks will make it easier to move items like seeds and fertilizers to farms and finished products to markets.
