Agricultural Research Landscape in Côte d'Ivoire | Paysage de la Recherche Agricole en Côte d'Ivoire

Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), with approximately 7.5 million hectares of agricultural land, is the world's largest producer of cocoa, providing over 40% of global supply. The country is also a major producer of coffee (Robusta), cashew nuts (one of Africa's top producers), bananas, cotton, rubber, oil palm, pineapples, yams, cassava, maize, and rice. Through the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the National Agricultural Research Center (CNRA), and the National Institute of Agricultural Research (INRA-CI), Côte d'Ivoire continues to advance agricultural research and innovation with strong emphasis on cocoa sustainability, cashew improvement, and climate adaptation.
