Following Zambia’s independence in 1964, the event expanded in scope and prestige, eventually becoming the Zambia International Trade Fair Trust (ZITFT). Today, the annual fair in Ndola during the first week of July attracts exhibitors and visitors from across Zambia and around the world, serving as a premier platform for trade, innovation, and knowledge exchange.
