How Qualagric Asbl is supporting the development of the cassava sector in DRC

In 2023, Proparco provided Qualagric Asbl, a leading Congolese agri-operator, with a funding and technical assistance of EUR 400,000 to support the development of the cassava value chain in Democratic Republic of Congo. This package will fund the acquisition of improved seeds, relevant machinery and training for 750 small producers and farmers collaborating with Qualagric Asbl. It is expected that this initiative will promote resilient cultivation and sustainble irrigation techniques, improve the volumes and yield of cassava, increase processing and marketing capacities of the beneficiaries, and promote agro-industrial activities for young people and women in particular.
