Cote d'Ivoire: Cote d'Ivoire - Halal Overview - 2025
Link to report:
The African halal market is estimated at over $150 billion. In the Coastal West Africa Region, Côte d'Ivoire's halal food and agricultural products market is similarly growing. It shows promise thanks to the increasing number of halal product consumers in the country and in the region. Even though halal certification is not currently required by the national government and its regulatory agencies, Ivorian Muslim organizations and third-country certifiers are actively strengthening capabilities and promoting certification. With a large, growing Muslim community already present, the Ivorian halal marketplace is set to further expand over the next couple of years. It offers U.S. exporters of halal certified food and agricultural products willing to service this market good potential, as well as serves as the commercial and trade gateway to francophone West Africa (i.e., largely Muslim).
