Description: CAR is a country with substantial agricultural and forest potential which is little or insufficiently developed; its mineral resources are limited and the industrial sector is embryonic. The country has a good energy base particularly ip wood fuels and hydro-electricity. No exhaustive inventory of these resources has, however, been carried out and the energy potential consequently remains very underestimated. Efforts have, therefore, been made by the Government to better assess the resources identified and promoie the discovery of new resources.
