POSTPONED  

Burundi in Africa abounds in a wide variety of mines and quarries. Different studies show that there are several types of mineral deposits/indices: Gold, nickel, cobalt, lithium, cassiterite, wolfram, tin, etc. In addition, it is widely acknowledged that Burundi holds the second-largest coltan reserves in the EAC and the world's 2nd-largest nickel reserves: three nickel deposits, whose reserves are estimated at around 260 million tons, or 6% of the world's nickel reserves.

Burundi also has forests and parks. Burundi microclimate provides agricultural production with a very high quality in terms of tastes, flavors and nutrients, which is very rare in the world (coffee, vegetables, sugar, fish, palm oil)

The Burundian government has embarked on a series of legal and institutional reforms, with a view to building strong institutions capable of initiating, designing and/or implementing reforms that match ambitions.

The Burundi Development Agency (ADB) is a public institution designated as the gateway and sole point of contact for all local and foreign investors seeking business opportunities in Burundi.
