Cote d'Ivoire: Cote d'Ivoire - It's Time for US Wines in Abidjan

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   IV2024-0013
Côte d'Ivoire's wine market is a growing, and set to further expand thanks to the takeoff of a modern and internationally well connected middle class. At the same time, urbanization is expanding alongside a dynamic retail market offering U.S. wines a potentially attractive export destination. With no real domestic wine production of its own, the Ivoirian wine marketplace is dependent on imports. In 2023 (latest full calendar year data), Côte d’Ivoire with $64.1 million in wine imports (harmonized system heading 2204), is sub-Saharan Africa’s largest wine importer; outpacing the likes of South Africa ($54.3 million), Namibia ($40 million), and Kenya ($23.9 million). Côte d'Ivoire, with a projected gross domestic product (GDP) of 7 percent in 2024, is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, as well as the economic engine of Francophone West Africa. Ivorians are already habituated having wine with their meals and accustomed to pairing these to compliment even their renown local spicy dishes.
