This study aims to test the performance of agricultural markets in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Over the last few years, the price of cassava has increased considerably, from US$ 72 per ton in 2007 to US$ 123 per ton in 2009.The value chain analysis and a market integration analysis were performed to identify critical issues to identify critical issues and constraints that undermine cassava market development,The results indicated the poor value chain status of cassava, which leads to the stagnation of this crop as a semi-commercial cropand restrains its absorption into the mainstream market chain in local, national and regional markets. The results from the error correction mechanism (ECM) suggest that on average about 30 % of past deviations from the long run are corrected each month.
