DRC lies within the drainage basin of the mighty Congo River, the world’s deepest, and Africa’s second longest river. The river provides the DRC with hydroelectric power potential that was once said to be enough to power the whole of Africa. Many of the DRC’s 100 million or so people live along the banks of the Congo, and its tributaries.
Tanzania’s top exports to the DRC are cigarettes, cement, soap, wheat, iron, and steel products. However, Tanzania has a huge comparative advantage in cereals, edible oils, sugar, textiles, and meat products
