A historic player in the banana trade, Côte d’Ivoire has been the leading African exporter since 2014, overtaking Cameroon, and exporting 404 000 tonnes in 2018. It has become the no.4 supplier to the European market, currently occupying the world no.9 position. After a period of instability between 2002 and 2011, Ivorian exports have found renewed growth, especially to the EU, their core market, and also to the country’s West African neighbours (Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, etc.). The greater political stability observed since the mid-2010s has been favourable for investment, helping the sector’s surface areas to achieve considerable expansion.
