Côte d'Ivoire has invested $16.3 million in the industrialization of its pineapple and mango sectors. Côte d'Ivoire, one of West Africa's leading agricultural countries, is targeting in its Agricultural Recovery Plan (PNIA) the local transformation of nearly half of its agricultural production to create value and employment.

 

 

 

The first phase concerns the pineapple and mango sectors, with an investment of 9.4 billion CFA francs (US$ 16.3 million), in partnership with the African Development Bank (ADB).

 

 

 

The country produces about 150,000 tons of mangoes annually, of which 30,000 tons are for export.
