Why is This Market Especially Promising?

  • High Demand for Cassava

    DRC is the world’s largest consumer of cassava, with an average yearly consumption of 334 kg of fresh cassava roots per person, 150 kg of cassava flour per person, 29 kg of cassava leaves per person

  • Huge population

    With a population of 103 million, the demand for cassava-based products is massive. Kinshasa alone (20+ million people) is a major market for processed cassava products

  • Supply full of irregularity

    The current supply is unstable, and much of the cassava consumed in the DRC is imported, creating an opportunity for Burundi to position itself as a competitive supplier.
