Eastern Highlands: Ideal for Alfalfa — Les hauts plateaux de l'Est : idéaux pour la luzerne
The eastern highlands of DR Congo, stretching along the Albertine Rift from North Kivu to South Kivu and Katanga, offer exceptional conditions for alfalfa cultivation. At elevations of 1,500-2,500 meters, temperatures remain moderate year-round, providing an ideal growing environment. The region's volcanic soils are naturally fertile, and adequate rainfall supports multiple harvests per year. Kohenoor's Sardi and KN92 varieties thrive in these highland conditions, delivering crude protein levels of 20-23% — essential for the growing dairy sector serving Goma, Bukavu, and Lubumbashi.
Matadi Port & Supply Chain — Port de Matadi et chaîne d'approvisionnement
Matadi port, located on the Congo River approximately 150 km from the Atlantic coast, serves as DR Congo's primary maritime gateway. Kohenoor International ships directly to Matadi with complete CIF pricing and all required customs documentation. From Matadi, seeds are transported to Kinshasa and distributed to agricultural zones across the country. For eastern DRC, alternative routing through Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) or Mombasa (Kenya) provides efficient access to Kivu provinces. We coordinate with experienced Central African freight forwarders to ensure reliable delivery.
Livestock Development in DRC — Développement de l'élevage en RDC
DR Congo's vast territory supports significant livestock populations, particularly in the eastern highlands and southern savanna regions. The country's dairy sector is experiencing renewed growth, with investments in modern dairy farms around major cities creating strong demand for quality fodder. Alfalfa provides the high-protein feed essential for improving milk yields from local cattle breeds. Kohenoor's seeds support both commercial dairy operations and NGO-led agricultural development programs across the DRC, contributing to food security and rural economic growth.
