COMPOSITION DE L'ASSIETTE DU COMMUN DES CONGOLAIS

Abstract

Kids and pregnant women do suffer from under nutrition and malnutrition. This is the result of the lack of fund allocated to the ministry of Agriculture compared to the ministries of Energy and National defense in this country. Since 1973 there is no political willing power to fund sufficiently this ministry although it has been claimed, by the Mareshall Mobutu, to be the most important priority to other priorities. Furthermore, the insufficient aid to development, the deterioration of the international terms of exchange, the imposition of price to the african agro-industrial products and the european agricultural protectionism do not allow this country to organise its infrastructure to commercialisation and its regional supplying system. Accordingly, compared to others subsaharian countries (Kenya, Burundi, Ivory Cost) RDCongo is now facing a permanent food shortage which could lead in the very near future to famine in some regions.
