Earlier Report Observations

The market for dried shelled cow peas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo demonstrated steady expansion from 2018 to 2023, with volume growing from 74 094 t to 84 041 t. This consistent increase was driven by rising domestic production, which climbed each year without interruption.

Growth continued through 2022 and 2023 despite a broader context of rising prices for agricultural products and seeds in Kinshasa, influenced by seasonal factors and the depreciation of the Congolese franc. This inflationary pressure on food baskets did not curb the market's expansion, which was further supported in 2022 by the first significant import volume of 1 155 t.

In 2024, the inauguration of the 'Assiette du peuple' market in Kinshasa aimed to improve the supply and distribution of agricultural produce, representing a structural development for the sector.
