Fishi, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Fishi is a small city in Katanga Province in the southern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), located along the Lualaba River and around the core of the African Copperbelt. The city is surrounded by rich mineral resources, predominantly copper and cobalt deposits, which have attracted some scale of mining activity and a small smelting industry. Feshie is an important regional trading center, connecting the surrounding mining areas with the towns and trading mainly in agricultural products (e.g. cassava, maize) and minerals. Due to its location in a savannah climate zone with high temperatures and rainfall throughout the year, the local population is mainly engaged in agriculture and small-scale commerce. Despite its relatively weak infrastructure, its location and resource endowment give it a place in the regional economy.
