Nohémie & Co. podcast is about me engaging in conversations with founders and investors in the African continent. As a daughter of the Congo who moved back to the motherland, the African continent, I’m fascinated by learning from folks making things happen and hopefully that inspires you to launch your own venture.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is one of Africa’s most population-rich yet food-import-dependent nations, creating a HUGE opportunity for diaspora entrepreneurs. In this episode, we break down:
✅ Why agrocommodity imports are a lucrative business
✅ Key food products in demand (wheat, rice, poultry, oil, etc.)
✅ How the diaspora can leverage connections & logistics
✅ Challenges & how to navigate them
📊 DRC Population Breakdown (Key Markets for Food Imports):
The DRC has over 100 million people, with major demand centers in:
Kinshasa (17+ million) – The capital, biggest consumer market
Lubumbashi (Haut-Katanga) – ~5 million
Mbuji-Mayi (Kasai-Oriental) – ~4 million
Kananga (Kasai-Central) – ~3 million
Goma (North Kivu) – ~2 million+ (growing due to displacement)
Kisangani (Tshopo) – ~1.5 million
With rising urbanization and a reliance on imports, this is a goldmine for diaspora-led agribusiness.
