flag Zimbabwe bans raw mineral and lithium exports to boost domestic processing and value addition.

flag Zimbabwe has immediately banned all exports of raw minerals and lithium concentrates, citing the need to boost domestic processing, ensure accountability, and increase value addition. flag The suspension, effective February 25, 2026, applies to all such materials in transit and will remain in place until further notice. flag Only mining companies with valid titles and approved beneficiation facilities may export, and third-party traders are prohibited. flag The move aligns with existing laws requiring beneficiation before export, aiming to retain economic benefits and support the country’s clean energy goals. flag The ban comes ahead of a planned 2027 export restriction on lithium concentrate.
