Congo: Exporter Guide - Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) offers significant growth potential for U.S. food and beverage exporters, driven by its large population and increasing urbanization, U.S. agricultural and related product exports to the DRC are rising, with strong demand for wheat, poultry, vegetable oil, and rice. The DRC relies heavily on imports which accounts for 70 percent of its food needs, providing opportunities for U.S. suppliers to capture a larger market share. While competition from regional and European suppliers remains strong, the United States can leverage its reputation for quality products to expand its presence in the market.
