Belgian Congo 95 EXPORTS In considering the import and export figures for the Belgian Congo, it should be noted that the Congo and Ubanghi rivers serve other parts of the Congo basin, notably French Equatorial Africa (French Congo) . It is desirable, therefore, to specify what proportion the figures for the Belgian Congo bear to the total river-borne trade in and out of the Congo ports . This is shown as far as possible in the tables which follow.
