This study is carried out in Bugorhe and Irhambi-Katana Grouping in 2019, Kabare Sud-Kivu, DRC. The difficulties linked to the marketing identified therein and its by-product are: Poor associative organization, the products are not preserved because the conservation techniques are not known by almost all tomato growers, Lack of knowledge of the markets and prices, existence of competitors on the same markets, absence of marketing coordination structures.The proposed solutions are: Better organization and training of producers. Better study the markets, control prices, learn about and participate in price variations, improve and adapt the quality of products and by-products, install and operate processing units as coordination structures for tomato-related activities in this place.Our hypotheses are tested on a chi-square basis: those related to the difficulties are confirmed and those related to the solutions to these difficulties are partially invalidated. Dynamic and operational marketing is essential here.
