Earlier Report Observations
The market for fresh or chilled beans in Congo saw a gradual increase in volume from 4,406 t in 2018 to 4,459 t in 2020. This growth aligned with the agriculture sector's expanding role in the economy, as its contribution to GDP rose to 7.8% in 2019 and further to 9.0% in 2020, reflecting broader investment and development in farming that supported production.
After a slight contraction in 2021, the market stabilized around 4,440 t through 2023. During these years, the National Institute of Statistics regularly published the Harmonized Consumer Price Index, which tracked food prices and informed consumer behavior for products like beans. In 2024, concrete steps to boost agriculture included the opening of protected farming zones and the delivery of tractors for mechanization, although infrastructure setbacks such as a damaged bridge were also reported.
