Democratic Republic of the Congo

1. Country / Territory Brief

The Democratic Republic of Congo is the largest country of Central Africa in terms of size. The country is rich of natural

resources such as diamonds, copper, gold and oil, which it exports in large quantities. The country also produces wood products

and coffee for exportation towards its main partners such as China, Zambia and Belgium. However, despite its large potential,

Congo DRC is classified as the least developed country according to UNDP’s Human Development Index partly due to a long

period of political instability.

Congo DRC is a member of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS), the Southern African Development

Community (SADC), the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), and the Economic Community of the

Great Lakes Countries (ECGLC). The country has benefited from a number of ITC interventions under PACT2 notably in the

area of coffee export promotion and the reinforcement of trade support institutions. Congo DRC is looking forward to further

diversify its economy by developing its production and exports of non-traditional products such as yam and cassava.
