Côte d'Ivoire food security and agricultural development

Overview

Côte d'Ivoire is implementing strategic measures to enhance food sovereignty and reduce reliance on imports. Under the second generation of the National Policy for the Development of Livestock, Fisheries, and Aquaculture (PONADEPA 2026-2030), the government aims to increase national animal protein coverage from 36% to 75% by 2030. This initiative requires approximately 2,000 billion FCFA, with the private sector expected to provide 80% of the funding. To support local producers, the government has reintroduced a 0% VAT rate on animal feed and related inputs for the 2026-2027 period.

Parallel to livestock and fisheries efforts, the country faces challenges in the potato market. Driven by urbanization and changing dietary habits, potato demand has risen significantly, yet domestic production remains below 100 tons per year. This has resulted in a heavy reliance on imports, which averaged approximately 62,000 tons annually. Financial data indicates a sharp rise in these costs, with potato imports reaching $12.5 million between January and September 2026, a 45% increase over the same period in 2025.
