Republic of Congo hopes to boost investment in agriculture . Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Republic of Congo has grown considerably in recent years, standing at $3.5 billion in 2013, making the country the largest beneficiary of FDI in central Africa. However, more than 90% of these flows go to the oil sector. In order to diversify investment and stimulate growth, the country is planning an in-depth reform of its general investment policy, in order to increase FDI and its positive fallout and to promote the development of agriculture, UNCTAD reports.
