DRC - The development of other cultures

The Congo Basin offers favorable climatic conditions for the cultivation of oil palm, rubber, coffee, cocoa, bananas and cassava, while the savannah areas are favorable for the cultivation of cotton, cereals and grain legumes; the mountainous areas, where a relatively temperate climate prevails, are suitable for high-altitude crops such as coffee, tea and potatoes.

Food crops

The rise in wheat prices, the main imported cereal, particularly to meet demand in urban areas, has relaunched substitution with other cereals considered "second-rate" (sorghum and millet in particular) or tubers such as cassava. The DRC has thus adopted a plan to popularize the use of cassava flour to meet the demand for processed cereal-based food products such as pastries. Soybeans are a miracle plant for combating malnutrition and balancing cassava-based diets.

An agricultural investment company, Logix Africa SAS, aims to modernize agriculture and produce 30,000 tons of corn and 15,000 tons of soybeans in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). While the country has significant development potential, agricultural production has stagnated since independence. The agricultural sector faces challenges, particularly in the supply of quality agricultural inputs and tools. Logix is addressing this gap by providing farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs with agricultural equipment and machinery, seeds, plant protection products, and biofertilizers, all with qualified technical support.

Located southeast of the capital, Kinshasa, the Bukanga Lonzo agro-industrial park covers 83,000 hectares. The result of a partnership between the DRC government and a group of South African companies, it is currently under the supervision of the National Ministry of Agriculture, where 18 different crop varieties are grown, including maize, cassava, savannah rice, various vegetables, etc., not to mention the livestock activities that are carried out there.

The production of market gardeners and perennials

The Congolese cocoa and coffee sectors are undergoing a major redeployment, focusing on quality to increase added value. This renaissance is largely linked to the support provided by NGOs and bilateral cooperation initiatives with producers and is accompanied, beyond the increase in volumes, by a new vision of cultivation. Particular attention is being paid to certification (organic and fair trade) and the marketing of so-called "specialty" coffees and cocoas. For cocoa cultivation, the DRC has a cultivable area six times larger than that of Côte d'Ivoire, the world's leading cocoa producer and exporter. Today, production is largely carried out by thousands of small farmers grouped into cooperatives, the largest of which, Solidarité Paysanne pour la Promotion des Actions Café et Développement intégrale (Sopacdi), in South Kivu, has 12,000 members.
