The National Cannabis Control Committee said the board would be constituted in August 2026, licences issued thereafter, and hemp trials begin in October 2026. The Zambia National Service was described as the sole current cultivator, with 100,000 hectares pledged by chiefs. No issued licence or trial was confirmed by late October 2026.[1]
