Import to Burundi

The main sector of Burundi's economy is agriculture, which comprises 54 percent of the country's GDP. More than three quarters of the labour force is engaged in farming, cultivating cotton, corn, bananas, tea and coffee. The remaining part is involved in Burundi's major industries: food processing, manufacture of essential consumer goods and assembly of imported components.

Trade occupied 50.9% of Burundi’s GDP in the period between 2006-2008, as reported by the World Trade Organization. In this context, it is worth mentioning that Burundi is the 191^st largest export economy in the world and the 195^th largest importer. Also, Burundi's GDP growth is expected to rise from 4,7 to 5 percent in 2016 as a result of the implemented projects in the mining and energy domains.

At present Burundi isn't self-sufficient in food-production, which lead to an increase of imports. Most imported goods come from EU, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, China, India, Kenya, Uganda, which are Burundi's main trading partners.

Burundi major imports are: food (wheat, rice, dried vegetables, soybeans), fuel, construction materials, pharmaceutical products, electrical and electronic equipment, vehicles.
