Fruit Processing opportunity

Ivory Coast is a major producer of tropical fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, and citrus, yielding millions of tons annually. However, much of this production is currently exported raw or wasted due to limited local processing capabilities. Investing in fruit processing facilities within the ZIC zone can transform this abundant supply into high-value products like juices, dried fruits, and purees.

FRUIT PROCESSING BUSINESS IN ZIC, IVORY COAST: KEY ADVANTAGES FOR INVESTORS

Projected Market Growth: The global fruit and vegetable processing market is expected to reach USD 346 billion by 2027, driven by increasing demand for processed and convenient food products.
Rich Agricultural Base: Ivory Coast is one of the top producers of tropical fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, bananas, and citrus fruits; for example- it produces approximately 1.5 million tons of mangoes and 300,000 tons of pineapples annually.
High Returns on Investment: The fruit processing sector is highly profitable due to the high demand for processed fruit products and the relatively low cost of raw materials in Ivory Coast. Government incentives further enhance the attractiveness of investing in this sector.
Underutilized Processing Capacity: A significant portion of its fruit harvest is exported in raw form or suffers from post-harvest losses due to limited processing facilities. This presents a substantial opportunity for investors to establish fruit processing plants and capture more value within the supply chain.
