State of their Economy & Industry

The Republic of the Ivory Coast has over 23 million people and supplies more than a third of the world’s cocoa and its exports for the global chocolate market were worth around $2.5 billion dollars in 2010 (according to the UN's Food & Agriculture Organization). – Since the 1960’s the Ivory Coast has enjoyed decades of stable government and became the wealthiest Country in West Africa, boasting the fourth-largest economy south of the Sahara.

Many state-owned companies, including electricity and water utilities were privatized over the last two decades. But with political divisions and coups, the economy slumped during the 1990s. It suffered further during the civil war of 2002 and the recent violence following elections in 2010. However, peace and stability in the last few years have allowed the economy to flourish, with growth in the oil, transportation and banking sectors in particular.
