The Global Index Insurance Facility (GIIF) was thrilled to announce the successful launch of the DRC Agribusiness Challenge earlier this month, marking a significant step forward in advancing the agri-food landscape in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The mission was clear: to strengthen the Congolese agro-industrial ecosystem and empower SMEs and smallholder farmers, thereby enhancing their productivity and profitability.

We invite you to watch a brief overview of the presentations by the finalists during the DRC Agribusiness Innovation Challenge as they introduced their innovations to a distinguished Grand Jury during the DRC Agribusiness Forum that took place in Kinshasa.

Stay tuned as we prepare to honor the three winners of the Challenge. They will receive crucial acceleration support to scale up their innovative agri-food sector products and services in the DRC.
