In terms of quantity, C ô te d'Ivoire is one of the largest producers in the world.

But the best quality coffee has never been produced here, and the coffee rarely comes from Arabian coffee trees. In the early 1980s, it was the world's third-largest coffee producer, with an annual output of 5 million bags. Even today, it is still the fifth largest coffee producer in the world, with an annual output of 4.4 million bags. In terms of coffee production, C ô te d'Ivoire is second only to Indonesia (6.8 million bags per year).

In the 1980s Ivorian coffee produced only 250 kilograms per hectare. This is partly due to poverty, but also to the aging of coffee trees. Lack of investment and lack of long-term business plans have also affected coffee production.

The Government of C ô te d'Ivoire has begun to take positive measures to reverse the situation. The National Coffee Management Committee has been reorganized and streamlined, and some production activities have been transferred to private companies for management. The government provides a minimum price guarantee to farmers who produce high-quality coffee and encourages exporters to buy directly from farmers. Today, 80% of exported coffee has found a market in European Community countries, with the main buyers being France and Italy.

It is worth noting that C ô te d'Ivoire is the main centre of coffee smuggling, with as many as 2600 tons of coffee smuggled between 1993 and 1994, mainly through the neighbouring countries of Mali (Mali) and Guinea (Guinea).

C ô te d'Ivoire is a country in West Africa, next to Guinea and Liberia. C ô te d'Ivoire is a name translated from French, but it is C ô te d'Ivoire if it is literally translated by pronunciation.

Under French rule, coffee, along with cocoa and palms, was grown heavily along the coast to stimulate exports. By the 1960s, coffee production had increased to make C ô te d'Ivoire the third largest coffee exporter after Brazil and Colombia.

Almost all the coffee in C ô te d'Ivoire is Robasta, and only a few Arabica coffees are experimental.

As mentioned earlier, because of its special taste and characteristics, Robasta coffee is mostly used for instant coffee or canned coffee, and rarely consumed directly in the form of fine coffee, so it does not often appear in the coffee-producing countries that we often mention.
