  ABSTRACT: This paper analyzes the effects of agricultural investment on poverty in rural areas Congo over the period 1989 to 2019, focusing on a monetary approach (income or consumption expenditure). The results obtained from this study through the Autoregressive Lagged Model (ARDL) showed that agricultural investment has a positive and significant influence on poverty in the short and long term in Congo. As in most developing countries, the majority of the population lives in rural areas, and derives its income from agricultural activities. For this reason, the development of agricultural investment could be one of the essential ways of eradicating poverty in rural areas.
