Earlier Report Observations
Melon seed production in the Democratic Republic of the Congo remained relatively stable between 2018 and 2020, with a slight decline reflecting the broader constraints in the country's agricultural sector, including a shortage of skilled labor and machinery for industrial processing.
Output increased by 2.6% to 63 thousand t in 2021 and continued a slow upward trend through 2023. In 2022, rising seed prices for crops like amaranth and lettuce on Kinshasa markets provided an economic incentive for farmers, potentially encouraging greater allocation of resources to seed production, including melon seeds.
By 2023, the market volume reached 63.4 thousand t. In 2024, authorities launched a new agricultural campaign with significant funds allocated to provinces and announced plans to establish agro-industrial parks, indicating a policy shift towards strengthening the agricultural sector.
