Maduda, DRC is located in North Kivu Province in the eastern part of the country, on the western shore of Lake Kivu, and is an important agricultural and trading town in the Kivu region. The local economy is based on subsistence agriculture, producing coffee, bananas, cassava and other crops, and some of the agricultural products are transported to Goma and other neighboring cities through Lake Kivu water transportation. As a tropical rainforest climate zone, Maduda is hot and rainy all year round, with an average annual temperature of about 22-28℃, which is suitable for the growth of a variety of crops.
