Cote d'Ivoire: Food Processing Ingredients Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   IV2025-0005
Côte d'Ivoire is the gateway to the francophone West African market. Its food processing sector is dynamic and growing, offering new opportunities for U.S.-origin food ingredient exporters bold enough to pioneer this market. The Ivorian food processing and manufacturing industry are dependent on imports; local industry is unable to meet growing consumer demand. In 2024, imports of food processing ingredients and related products hit roughly $852 million, up from $845 million in 2023. There are opportunities for wheat flour, dairy milk concentrates and powder, bakery goods and inputs, soybean meal, and others.
