Cocoa is far more than the key ingredient in chocolate; it is a source of untapped economic potential that could revolutionize industries beyond confectionery. As the world’s largest cocoa producer, Ivory Coast, alongside other West African nations such as Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon, stands at the crossroads of an opportunity to maximize the value of cocoa by-products.

While East Africa and Latin America are often highlighted as leaders in coffee production, West Africa, particularly countries like Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Togo, has the necessary foundations to significantly increase its coffee production. Côte d'Ivoire, with an annual production of 1 to 2 million bags, is already a regional leader. Yet, the country and its neighbors have much more to offer.
