Untapped Potential In ZIC Timber & Wood Processing Business Sector

The Zones Industrielles de Côte d'Ivoire (ZIC) possess significant potential for wood processing. Abundant timber resources and skilled labor provide a strong foundation. ZIC's strategic location and supportive infrastructure attract investments, fostering growth in the wood processing industry. With sustainable practices and increasing global demand for wood products, ZIC can emerge as a leading hub for wood processing, contributing to economic development and job creation in Côte d'Ivoire.

Côte d'Ivoire boasts significant timber resources, with an estimated 4 million hectares of classified forests (World Bank). This abundance of raw materials provides a strong foundation for the wood processing industry within ZIC. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) boasts a combined GDP exceeding USD 700 billion (World Bank). This vast market, with a burgeoning middle class, presents a significant opportunity for wood products manufactured within ZIC. ZIC's strategic location near Abidjan's port facilitates easy access to international markets. This allows wood processing companies to capitalize on the global demand for sustainably sourced and processed wood products.
