The milk production and its destination in the Masisi zone - North-Kivu Zaire. The abundance of pasture land in the mountainous massif of the Masisi zone, bordering the lake of Kivu, has often amazed the tourist or the expert visiting that North eastern part of Zaire. The potential milk production of the area is obvious. Cattle breeding still obeys to very traditional habits, and even farms specializing in milk production, with a capacity of over 2000 horned. Cattle are still run in a quite primitive manner. The cattle feeds on the pasture land of Kikuyu. Whereas the milk produced by minor cattle breeders is used by the locals, a cheese and butter small scale production has developed around the larger farms of Masisi. That production remains however insufficient. No doubt that an improvement of production technics combined with a better organization and better "commercialization" methods would greatly contribue to the evolution of that region in particular, and to production capacities of Zaire in general.
