Cote d'Ivoire: Oilseeds and Products Report
Link to report:
Côte d'Ivoire is one of the leading producers of palm oil in Africa, with annual production exceeding 500,000 metric tons since 2018. The country consumes over 75% of its palm oil production domestically, with palm oil being a staple for 90% of the population. The high domestic demand for palm oil outstrips supply, creating intense competition for fresh fruit bunches (FFB). To address regulatory compliance and enhance industry standards, the Government of Côte d'Ivoire (GOCI) has initiated actions, including closing non-compliant mills.
