The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has the potential to feed a quarter of the world's population due to its vast territory, Agricultural production potential, and natural resources. However, food insecurity affects 27 million people in the country, leading to billions of dollars spent on food imports annually. To address this issue, the DRC hosted its first Agribusiness forum, aiming to transform the agricultural sector by improving infrastructure, governance, and human capital. The government is seeking cooperation with national and international players to achieve its strategy. Despite past initiatives, food insecurity remains a significant challenge for President Félix Tshisekedi, especially as the country approaches a decisive election in December.
