At the request of the Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Congo, Dr. Bob Patterson and Dennis Delong visited that country April 18-25, 2007. As a result, focus is being directed on food crop production constraints and development of aquaculture in that country. CALS has also received a donation of 60 desktop computers from SAS Institute to be given to the Congo Ministry of Agriculture.
