History

C ô te d'Ivoire 's coffee industry was introduced by French colonists in the 19th century, [4] and its coffee production increased from 36000 metric tons in 1945 after the second World War to 112500 metric tons in 1958. [5] this number continued to rise after local independence in 1960 and peaked in the 1970s, making the country the world's third-largest coffee exporter after Brazil and Colombia, but the subsequent civil war destabilized coffee cultivation. [1] on the other hand, the local coffee production processes and policies formulated during the colonial period of French West Africa have also attracted many French companies to invest and participate in the country's coffee production industry. [6]

The country's output of immature Robasta coffee beans reached a peak of 380000 metric tons in 2000, [7] but has been declining for more than a decade as a result of local unrest, in particular the Ivorian Revolutionary War in 2002-2007 and the second Ivorian civil war in 2010-2011. [7] in 2014, the Minister of Agriculture of C ô te d'Ivoire announced that the country planned to increase coffee production to 400000 metric tons by 2020, about four times that of 2013. [7]
