Zimbabwe to ban export of lithium concentrates from 2027

Reuters06-11

HARARE, June 10 (Reuters) - Zimbabwe will ban the export of lithium concentrates from 2027 as it pushes for more local processing, mines minister Winston Chitando said on Tuesday.

Africa's top producer of lithium, used in batteries to power renewable energy technologies, banned the export of lithium ore in 2022 and has been pushing miners to process more domestically.
