In last week’s issue of the IITA Bulletin, we featured a story on the DRC Prime Minister’s visit to IITA-Kinshasa as part of the Agripreneurs exhibition called Young Congolese and Agribusiness.

During the visit, Mr Matata Ponyo Mapon thanked IITA Director General Nteranya Sanginga and cited the work of IITA in agricultural development in DR Congo and beyond, especially in research and youth development.
Mr Matata Ponyo reaffirms the DRC government’s unending support for IITA.
Mr Matata Ponyo also emphasized that research was fundamental for agricultural development and assured IITA of the commitment of the DRC President to make agriculture a key sector in the development of the country’s economy. He went further to reiterate that the Government would support and help extend the Youth in Agribusiness initiative across the whole country.
