Cacao et noix de cajou en Côte d’Ivoire : Ouattara mise sur la transformation locale
While in Geneva, Switzerland, Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara participated in the World Trade Organization (WTO) Presidential Conference yesterday, Thursday, October 29, 2026. In his speech, the leader emphasized the need for developing countries to undertake a structural transformation of their economies.
Local processing of cocoa for the 2024-2025 season had reached 41%
He cited the example of Côte d'Ivoire, which is working to move beyond simply importing its raw materials and instead process them locally to capture more added value. The leader specifically indicated that local processing of cocoa for the 2024-2025 season had reached 41%.
"The next step is to move further towards finished products, particularly chocolate and derived food products, which offer additional opportunities for value creation and job creation," the Ivorian president said.
To process 80% of the cashew nuts produced in Ivory Coast locally by 2030
In addition to cocoa, Côte d'Ivoire is also working to process cashew nuts locally. According to Mr. Ouattara, the share of production destined for local processing has reached approximately 43%, compared to 2% in 2012.
The government's ambition is to achieve at least 80% local processing by 2030.
continued the head of state, not without specifying that the objective of the Ivorian executive is not only to increase the volume of processed products, but also to improve their quality, the productivity of companies and their access to markets, while strengthening the links between producers, industrialists and small and medium-sized enterprises.
