The study highlighted a paradox in the country: despite <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">the increased importance of agriculture in the economy of the Republic of Congo, domestic food production is not sufficient to cover the food needs of the Congolese population. While the <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">contribution<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\"> of agriculture to the country&#8217;s GDP rose from 4 to 8% between 2012 and 2022, it is estimated that as much as 70% of food consumed in the Republic of Congo <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">is <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">imported.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The research also revealed the predominance of cassava production, which accounts for 80% of the staple food production in Congo. While cassava is widely consumed, its predominance limits diet diversification and the availability of nutrients to the population. Vegetable production has significant development potential but is still constrained by traditional manual planting techniques used by smallholder farmers.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">At the end of the study\u2019s presentation, technical recommendations were made regarding best practices to address the challenges identified in the country, such as strengthening rural technical assistance, investing in rural infrastructure, supporting agricultural production diversification, and empowering women farmers by ensuring their access to land, credit, and technical assistance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">About the Project<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The &#8220;Seeds for Tomorrow&#8221; project is an initiative of the World Food Programme&#8217;s (WFP) Centre of Excellence against Hunger in Brazil, WFP Congo in partnership with the Government of the Republic of Congo, the Government of Brazil, and the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC).

The objective, if the test results are positive, is to be able to include this local food, which is inexpensive and corresponds to Congolese dietary habits, in the WFP food basket. The team visited two schools near Brazzaville, where WFP already has school canteens. On site, the team prepared the fufu (cassava flour) and samples. Then, the interviewers went into the classrooms to observe about 200 children tasting the samples and assessing their appreciation of the three products offered: - The local handmade fufu - The same local fufu, fortified with a special mix of nutrients. - Nigerian industrial fufu, to which the same fortification nutrients were added during preparation."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/brasil-e-republica-do-congo-avancam-no-projeto-sementes-para-o-amanha\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"In\u00edcio","item":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Brazil and the Republic of Congo advance the &#8220;Seeds for Tomorrow&#8221; project"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/#website","url":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/","name":"WFP","description":"Centre of Excellence against Hunger","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/#organization","name":"WFP","url":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sem-titulo-1_Prancheta-1-1.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Sem-titulo-1_Prancheta-1-1.png","width":259,"height":395,"caption":"WFP"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/#\/schema\/person\/626fcfd94c49053062937868dbb17543","name":"Maria Clara Franco","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/343df77c2fc4b6a0fbaf71ce647632dc671b592062c20c120fd154061c915e86?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/343df77c2fc4b6a0fbaf71ce647632dc671b592062c20c120fd154061c915e86?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/343df77c2fc4b6a0fbaf71ce647632dc671b592062c20c120fd154061c915e86?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Maria Clara Franco"},"url":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/author\/maferreira\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/187"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28061\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/centrodeexcelencia.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
