FAS Abidjan, Accra (Post) sees the Côte d'Ivoire government's supports, improved inputs, and irrigation investments helping to boost rice production yields. Post forecasts Côte d'Ivoire's milled rice production in market year (MY) 2025/2026 (October-September) at 1.6 million metric tons (MMT), up 6.7 percent from the MY 2024/2025 estimate of 1.5 MMT.

While Côte d'Ivoire aims to achieve rice self-sufficiency by 2026, rice imports will remain critical in the near-term. Post projects rice imports in MY 2025/2026 still at a hefty 1.6 MMT. Côte d'Ivoire is seeking to commence exporting domestically produced rice by 2030; focusing to expand milling capabilities, increase mechanization, and better input distribution.
