The Republic of Guinea, referred to as Guinea in short, is derived from Berber, meaning "Country of the Black People", is located on the west bank of the West Africa, neighbors Guinea-Bissau, Senegal and Mali in the north, borders Côte d'Ivoire in the east as well as Sierra Leone and Liberia in the south, and is adjacent to the Atlantic in the west.

Guinea is one of the least developed countries published by the United Nations. Its economy is dominated by agriculture and mining, while the industrial base is weak. Food can not be self-sufficient. Aluminum vanadium, coffee, cocoa and rubber are the mainstay of its economy, while the scale of economic crop development is small and it is difficult for it to compete with other agricultural countries in West Africa.

Guinea exports are limited, the balance of payments is imbalanced, the vast majority of its consumer goods are entirely dependent on imports, and the main import commodities include the fuel, mining and construction equipment, rice, cement, chemical products and electrical equipment etc.
