**Agricultural policy at the heart of the Suminwa Government’s action program: A key to the economic development of the DRC**
The speech of the President of the National Assembly, Vital Kamerhe, during the presentation of the Suminwa Government’s action program, highlights the importance of structuring concrete actions that meet the vital needs of the Congolese population. At the heart of these concerns, the revival of agriculture is emerging as a strategic priority to stabilize the economy, reduce poverty and strengthen the value of the national currency.
Indeed, Vital Kamerhe insists on the need to implement realistic and effective initiatives to revitalize the agricultural sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He emphasizes in particular the importance of allocating plots of land to the different provinces, taking into account regional needs and specific production capacities. This approach would promote crop diversification, better resource management and a significant increase in agricultural production, while contributing to the country’s food self-sufficiency.
Furthermore, the President of the National Assembly highlights the example of Brazil, where an ambitious and well-structured agricultural policy has helped boost the economy and strengthen the value of the national currency. Drawing inspiration from this success, he proposes to grant tax exemptions and aid to farmers, in particular by providing quality agricultural equipment and inputs. This approach aims to encourage investment in the agricultural sector, improve yields and promote sustainable and balanced economic growth.
Finally, Vital Kamerhe assures the Suminwa Government of the unconditional support of the National Assembly in the implementation of these reforms which are crucial for the future of the DRC. He encourages collaboration and consultation between political, economic and social actors in order to guarantee the success of this agricultural recovery strategy and build a prosperous future for all Congolese.
Ultimately, agricultural policy remains an essential pillar of the economic and social development of the DRC. By investing in this strategic sector, the government is paving the way for a structural transformation of the economy, the creation of sustainable jobs and the improvement of people’s living conditions. It is time to act, urgently and in a concerted manner, to build a better and more prosperous future for the Democratic Republic of Congo.
