Bakongo

The Bakongo (aka. the Kongo people) live along the Atlantic coast of Africa from Pointe-Noire (Brazzaville) to Luanda, Angola. In the late 20th century they numbered about 10,220,000.

Agriculture

The Bakongo cultivate cassava, bananas, maize, sweet potatoes, peanuts (groundnuts), beans, and taro. Cash crops are coffee, cacao, urena, bananas, and palm oil. Fishing and hunting are still practiced by some groups, but many Bakongo live, work and trade in towns.
