1. The Republic of Congo-Brazzaville (ROC) is not an
industrialized economy and production of goods for both export
and domestic use is very limited. The natural resources economic
sector (oil and timber)is largely controlled by foreign
investors which adhere firmly to labor laws and do not have
forced or child labor. There is no broad agricultural sector in
existence at this time.


2. With the exception of a brewery and small handicraft
enterprises, there are no goods extracted/produced for domestic
consumption.
