Your agricultural products for Europe

NEW TRADING PARTNERS

Healthy nutrition is more than just a trendy topic in Europe - the demand for sustainably produced products is high. The Ivory Coast possesses the ideal conditions to conquer the European market with fresh food products. Europe also offers a wide range of opportunities for producers of natural ingredients, provided that their high standards of product quality and sustainable production conditions are met.

  • Tropical fruits, such as mangos or pineapples are hugely popular in Europe. The demand for organic fruit in particular is growing rapidly.  
  • Vegetables such as sweet potatoes were for a long time only a niche product in the European market - this is changing.
  • Natural ingredients (ginger, turmeric, dried fruits), especially organic produce - have an enormous export potential. 

Especially relevant for you as an exporter of these products from the Ivory Coast: IPD is represented locally with an office and can therefore better support you with your exports to Europe. We look forward to hearing from you!

Country report Côte d’Ivoire

Tropical agricultural country with diversity and dynamism

Côte d'Ivoire once owed its reputation as Africa's economic miracle country to cocoa exports - until the fall in cocoa prices, civil war and ongoing political unrest led the country into a crisis. Since 2012, the political situation has stabilized, and the economy has recorded annual growth of around nine percent. Today, Côte d'Ivoire is once again one of the most dynamic economies in West Africa. The engine of economic development is agriculture, and agricultural products also play a key role in exports.
