Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) is thrilled to announce that we have officially launched our SMM Africa-Zambia Desk, which is now fully operational to enchance our on-the-ground research and market coverage.

Connecting Global Resource Hubs to Boost Commodity Supply Chain Transparency

Zambia serves as a critical link within the global non-ferrous metals value chain, holding immense strategic importance across the global commodity market. Amid the global push for supply chain decarbonization and digital transformation, market players are increasingly demanding greater transparency, regulatory compliance and sustainability oversight across all commodity supply chains.

The launch of the SMM Africa-Zambia Desk creates a dedicated research corridor linking Africa’s raw resource bases with global metal consumption markets. By enhancing  upstream supply chain transparency, our Zambia office will  provide data-backed decision-making for market players globally.

Moving forward, the Zambia office will combine deep local industrial insights with SMM’s internationally standardized research methodologies. It will regularly publish objective, independent third-party industry analysis for global stakeholders, while empowering Africa's local enterprises in their access into global supply chain systems.

Strategic Outlook: Building a Win-Win Global Industrial Consulting Infrastructure

Deepened global market presence and specialized value-added service delivery stand as SMM’s long-term core corporate strategies. The inauguration of the Zambia office marks a key milestone in SMM’s worldwide research footprint.

Going forward, SMM will uphold our identity as an objective, rigorous and independent third-party research provider. Leveraging our frontline overseas offices including the SMM Africa-Zambia Desk, we will continuously upgrade our end-to-end global commodity supply chain research capabilities. SMM remains committed to fostering a more transparent, streamlined and collaborative new ecosystem for global clients and local industry partners across the international commodity sector.
