Authorities in the Katanga province, Congo's main copper-producing region lifted a copper export ban on 16 companies following a meeting with the provincial governor on Friday.
An official with Congo's state mining company, Gecamines, said that companies have pledged to honour their promise to support corn-growing projects in the province including planting at least 500 hectares of corn each.
"The governor has lifted the ban and the affected companies can now export copper without restrictions," he said.
The ban was announced last week.
