Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the market volume for unroasted, not decaffeinated coffee in Congo showed modest fluctuations, reaching 3 245 t in 2019 before gently declining to 3 206 t by 2021. During this period, coffee growers called for government assistance to improve security, farm road infrastructure, combat illegal taxes, access agricultural credit, and enact a farm law to facilitate smallholder work and boost production.

Between 2022 and 2023, the market size continued a gradual contraction, falling to 3 183 t. Coffee producers sought increased government support to enhance production and local marketing to cope with price volatility, while Congolese coffee exports overall saw a rise, indicating growing international relevance for the sector.

In 2024, the sector faced significant external factors, including the European Union's 'zero deforestation' regulation that threatened access to the European market, and the signing of export agreements with China opening a new alternative for the coffee-cocoa chain. International price fluctuations for arabica and robusta coffee also influenced local market conditions.
