Cote d’Ivoire’s food processing industry is developing and remains a major importer of ingredients for food processing. These imports will continue to grow as the sector is unable to meet increased demand. Cote d’Ivoire’s imports of food processing ingredients totaled $845 million in 2023, an increase of about 6.8 percent from $791 million in 2022. There are significant opportunities for imported food ingredients in Cote d’Ivoire. The food retail industry is a fast-growing sector thanks to expanding urbanization and a growing middle-class.
