No feed, no eggs : scoping study on feed supply for boosting the poultry sector in Kinshasa, DRC

Samenvatting

This report describes the results of a scoping study to increase the local feed supply for the Eggs for Congo project that develops a poultry value chain near Kinshasa in the DRC. Given the climatic circumstances in the Kinshasa area, maize and soybean production can potentially increase considerably compared to the current production levels. An important challenge is to improve the low soil fertility and to improve the availability and access to production inputs including knowledge required to increase crop productivity.
