INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
IN Ivory Coast

Ivory Coast’s industrial zones support manufacturing, agro-processing, and industrial development. The Plateforme Économique Industrielle d’Abidjan (PEIA), developed through a public-private partnership between ARISE IIP and the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, is located at PK-24, approximately 24 km from Abidjan. The zone aims to promote manufacturing and the local processing of agricultural commodities.

PEIA offers opportunities for businesses looking to establish industrial and manufacturing operations in Ivory Coast. Its development focuses on expanding manufacturing capacity and processing agricultural commodities locally. Investors can explore opportunities in agro-processing and other manufacturing sectors based on their business requirements.

Ivory Coast provides access to regional markets, including Liberia, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Ghana. Its transport infrastructure includes the international airport in Abidjan, maritime ports in Abidjan and San Pedro, and road networks that support domestic distribution and regional trade.

Ivory Coast offers investment opportunities across agro-processing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), construction materials, automotive components, consumer electronics, timber processing, and oil and gas. Its agricultural resources, particularly cocoa, cashew, coffee, and rubber, also create opportunities for processing and value-added manufacturing.

Manufacturing in Ivory Coast offers opportunities in agricultural processing, textiles, garments, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, and consumer goods.
