Zimbabwe bans raw lithium exports to boost local benefits, curb foreign control.
Zimbabwe, rich in lithium crucial for battery production, faces challenges as most profits flow to Chinese companies.
To address this, the government banned raw lithium ore exports in 2022 and plans to ban lithium concentrate exports from 2027, aiming to build local refineries and production plants.
Despite being one of the top lithium exporters, the industry has led to job shortages and human rights abuses.
Experts recommend the government take steps like establishing a monopoly on lithium reserves, engaging local communities, and implementing the ban sooner to ensure benefits reach locals.
