Ivory Coast | ZIC

Rubber Processing opportunity

Cote d'Ivoire is the 4th biggest rubber producing country in the world. In Cote d'Ivoire, the exports of natural rubber is banned and hence, around 90% of the produced rubber is processed in to TSR 10 and 20 within the country and then exported to Europe and Asia. Massive opportunity in tapping the second level of transformation i.e., transformation of TSR 10& 20, into rubber utility products.
