Etude de la filière haricot dans le groupement de Mudaka en territoire de Kabare (Est de la République Démocratique du Congo): acteurs, fonctionnement et performance

The Bean Sector Study in the Mudaka Group in Kabare Territory (East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo): Actors, Functioning and Performance. This study provides a brief overview of the market structure, functioning and performance for beans produced in the Mudaka region in Kabare (South Kivu province, in the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo). The empirical study is methodologically based on the «value chain» approach, and the «Structure-Conduct-Performance » model. The results showed that in terms of structure, the market operates mainly under two channels: the first highlights the exchanges and linkages between the production area and the urban consumer center (Bukavu), and the second takes into account the exchanges carried out only in Mudaka. Regarding its performance, the profit analysis at the level of all actors and traders, reveals a low return for the urban retailer compared to other stakeholders of the chain. At last, the study underscores major constraints and makes recommendations towards improving efficiency and equity within the beans market in Mudaka.
