Ivory Coast is a country in West Africa, next to Guinea and Liberia. Ivory Coast is a French free translation of the name, if literally translated by pronunciation is Ivory Coast. Coffee was grown along the coast along with cocoa and palms to stimulate exports under French rule, and by the 1960s coffee production had increased to make Ivory Coast the third-largest coffee exporter after Brazil and Colombia. However, in recent years, due to the impact of climate, economy, aging and reduced production of coffee trees, its coffee production has not been prosperous in the past. Since Ivory Coast is also a major producer of coffee in Africa, why are we not familiar with Ivory Coast coffee? This is because almost all coffee in Ivory Coast is Robusta, and only a few Arabica coffees are experimental. As mentioned earlier, because of its special taste and characteristics, Robusta coffee is mostly used for purposes such as mixed instant coffee or canned coffee, and is rarely consumed directly in the form of fine coffee. Therefore, it does not often appear in the coffee-producing countries that we often mention.

C ô te d'Ivoire was one of the most prosperous tropical West African countries during the Cold War, but its economy collapsed after 1985 due to political corruption, lack of reform, domestic unrest and civil war between 2002 and 2011. C ô te d'Ivoire is a country based on agriculture. In the face of falling global agricultural prices, C ô te d'Ivoire faces greater competition for the export of its main agricultural products, cocoa and coffee. C ô te d'Ivoire means "Ivory Coast" in French, and at the request of the government, the people's Republic of China is called C ô te d'Ivoire by transliteration. This transliteration has been used by the United Nations since December 31, 1985.

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 Ivory Coast the third largest coffee exporter after Brazil and Colombia.

However, in recent years, due to the impact of climate, economy, aging and reduced production of coffee trees, its coffee production has not been prosperous in the past.
