Côte d’Ivoire’s minister responsible for food crops presented 16 investment opportunities at a roundtable with 24 Italian companies on 18 October. Thirteen opportunities concerned rice. The ministry said its rice portfolio envisaged CFA 731.6 billion in investment and estimated annual turnover of CFA 221.2 billion at full operating scale.

A flagship proposal would develop 35,000 hectares of irrigation at Kossou and Buyo, requiring CFA 355 billion. Other opportunities include farm mechanisation, seed production, storage and processing facilities. The amounts describe a proposed pipeline; the government release does not say the investments have been secured or construction begun.
