Côte d’Ivoire is preparing for several major industrial and agricultural trade exhibitions at the Abidjan Exhibition Centre.

In October 2026, ATLM Expo will host three professional trade fairs focused on the agri-food, hospitality, plastics, printing, and packaging sectors. Commerce Minister Kalil Konaté has called for increased mobilization of economic actors to strengthen Ivorian industrial competitiveness. The event aims to facilitate international trade, with over 180 exhibitors from 25 countries and 265 qualified buyers from West Africa expected to participate.

Additionally, the 7th edition of the Abidjan International Agriculture and Animal Resources Trade Fair (SARA) is scheduled for May 23 to June 1, 2025. The Agricultural Research Fund for Côte d’Ivoire (FIRCA) will participate as an official sponsor, hosting an interactive stand to showcase agricultural development programs, technological innovations, and food sovereignty initiatives. The event will include panels on agro-food transformation and gender inclusion in agricultural policies.
