From the team (Democratic Republic of the Congo): 

"The Plateau des Batéké is a vast expanse of land solicited by farmers who want to invest in the agriculture sector. Local people who have mainly only this activity as a source of income are faced with a low yield problem. Very frequently, yields are very low due to the poor nature of the soil.

In order to avoid the decline in the supply of agricultural products in the Kinshasa markets and in view of the large volume of demand for food products in Kinshasa, it is essential to adopt new techniques to facilitate the increase in the yield of agricultural areas in the vicinity of the city centre."
