Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2022, Congo's cereal germ market volume expanded steadily from 4 653 t to 6 475 t. This growth was initiated by the launch of the Project for Support to Commercial Agriculture Development (PDAC) in 2018, which aimed to improve farmer productivity and market access for agribusinesses. The trend was further supported by a presidential commitment in 2021 to boost agriculture, livestock, and fisheries through 2026, alongside the adoption of laws in 2022 that strengthened the economic and agricultural regulatory framework.

After reaching a peak in 2022, the market volume contracted to 6 149 t in 2023. During this period, the government began implementing a multi-year Priority Action Program, including pilot projects for agricultural zoning. In 2024, authorities opened several Protected Agricultural Zones and received 100 tractors to modernize farming, while state-owned Saris Congo illustrated the ongoing role of public enterprises in agribusiness with its sugar production plans.
