The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has leapfrogged Italy and the Netherlands as Kenya’s second-biggest fish export market after China, underlining the impact of surging interest in new trade and investment opportunities in Africa’s second-largest country by land mass.

Kenyan investors have stepped up forays in the DRC, targeting key sectors including mining, trade, aviation, and banking, hoping to tap opportunities in the underdeveloped but high-potential market.
