Market Research in Burundi

Burundi’s economy is agriculture-based. Its principal export products are coffee, tea and cotton. Although the climate is good for these crops, high population density limits prospects for expanding the amount of land now under cultivation. There is potential in the production of subtropical fruits, though local food processors may not meet international health and packaging standards.
