Africa Food Show Côte d’Ivoire 2025 is just around the corner, bringing together leaders and innovators from across the global agrifood sector for three days of business, networking, and knowledge sharing. As part of the successful Africa Food Show series—which has made its mark in Kenya and Morocco, this inaugural edition in Côte d’Ivoire is positioned to become a key driver of agribusiness growth and transformation in West Africa.
Ivory Coast: A Key Player in Agrifood
The agro-food sector plays a central role in Côte d’Ivoire’s economy:
- 24% of Agricultural GDP: The industry contributes significantly to national agricultural output.
- Over 250,000 Jobs: A vital source of employment, with thousands of businesses operating nationwide.
- 12,000 Billion FCFA in Revenue: The sector is growing rapidly, boosted by domestic processing and strong export performance.
A Growing Export Force
In 2023 alone, Côte d’Ivoire’s agro-food exports reached 7,500 billion FCFA, with cocoa, cashew nuts, palm oil, and tropical fruits leading the way. The country’s products reach markets in Europe, Asia, North America, and the ECOWAS region.
As demand increases for processed foods, sustainable cocoa, and organic products, Côte d’Ivoire is gaining ground as a major supplier in global food markets.
Strong Investment Opportunities
The government and private sector are making strategic investments in agro-industrial zones and modern processing facilities to strengthen the food value chain.
Adoption of smart agricultural technologies, such as IoT, AI, and precision farming—is also improving productivity and operational efficiency, opening up new opportunities for both local and international investors.
