A LEADER IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
As the leading agricultural power in West Africa, Ivory Coast is the world's largest producer of cocoa and cashew nuts, as well as a major producer of coffee. This sector has high growth potential as the government and donors implement programs to improve the quality and quantity of agricultural production, increase yields, prioritize the development of the agro-processing value chain, and diversify agriculture.

Our focus is to get them to switch from conventional to sustainable and certified agriculture, by sustainability standards such as Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade, or 4C.
