Two different agricultural missions on two territories At the end of October 2021, Daniel, AVe expert, went to DRC for two weeks for two agricultural missions in two territories. The first took place near Bandundu, 400 km northeast of Kinshasa. The objective was to define an agricultural project for a 2,000 ha agropastoral center, the ITO center, which was very famous at one time, but has been under-exploited for several years. The second took place in the territory of Feshi, located 400 km southeast of Kinshasa and 370 km south of Bandundu. The problem to be addressed was the revival of a cattle industry that had just been decimated by two bovine epidemics, symptomatic anthrax and pasteurellosis.
