Congo’s Export Growth: Medical Incinerators Shipped to Libya
Background
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), grappling with poverty and inadequate infrastructure, has recently faced a surge in exports thanks to increased demand for infrastructure and industrial equipment. A notable example of this surge is the shipment of medical incinerators to Libya in 20 viciss/20 viciss/3.
Main Exporter
The main exporter of the medical incinerators is Fidesa Holding, a mining and trading company based in the DRC. Fidesa has secured contracts worth billions of dollars to deliver these incinerators to Libya, aiming to address the north African nation’s rampant waste management challenges.

The export of medical incinerators contributes to the DRC’s non-mining exports, a key driver of economic growth. This surge in foreign currency earnings enhances the country’s foreign exchange position and strengthens its currency.
Challenges and Concerns
While the export of medical equipment brings economic benefits, concerns linger regarding the sustainability and environmental impact of such massive shipments.

- Environment Impact: The incineration process emits harmful pollutants posing a threat to air and water quality.
- Local Needs: Critics argue that the focus on exporting high-priced equipment neglects the urgent need for basic infrastructure, healthcare, and education within the DRC.
