• Zambia is landlocked/ has no coastline hence copper has to pass through other countries to reach the seaport.
• The distance from Zambia to the coast is long which makes transportation of copper expensive.
• Political instability in the neighbouring countries makes it insecure to transport copper through them to the coast
• Congestion at the seaports causes delays in loading and off-loading of copper
• Loss of copper through theft while on transit deprives Zambia of the part of the expected revenue.
• Copper is bulky thus it can only be transported by rail which is slow.
