The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is one of Africa’s most population-rich yet food-import-dependent nations, creating a HUGE opportunity for diaspora entrepreneurs. In this episode, we break down:

✅ Why agrocommodity imports are a lucrative business
✅ Key food products in demand (wheat, rice, poultry, oil, etc.)
✅ How the diaspora can leverage connections & logistics
✅ Challenges & how to navigate them

📊 DRC Population Breakdown (Key Markets for Food Imports):
The DRC has over 100 million people, with major demand centers in:

Kinshasa (17+ million) – The capital, biggest consumer market
Lubumbashi (Haut-Katanga) – ~5 million
Mbuji-Mayi (Kasai-Oriental) – ~4 million
Kananga (Kasai-Central) – ~3 million
Goma (North Kivu) – ~2 million+ (growing due to displacement)
Kisangani (Tshopo) – ~1.5 million

With rising urbanization and a reliance on imports, this is a goldmine for diaspora-led agribusiness.
