Copper was discovered in the early 1920s, and the resulting development of mining-related industries brought an influx of rural migrants. Other minerals mined include cobalt and selenium. Industries producing food and beverages, wood and wood products, plastics, fabricated metal products, and chemicals are also located in Kalulushi. Pop.
