In the North Kivu province, ravaged by the war between the Congolese armed forces and the M23 rebels, the agricultural sector is now severely affected. Bernard Bahati is a Congolese entrepreneur from eastern DRC who is convinced that food self-sufficiency is a prerequisite for economic development and even the return of peace. With his maize processing factory, Okapi-Agrobusiness, which employs 50 people and which he financed himself, he has decided to contribute to food security in the region.
