Plateforme Economique Industrielle d'Abidjan

PEIA is Côte d’Ivoire’s flagship 1,000-hectare industrial platform designed to anchor West Africa’s next manufacturing hub. With €180M invested and strong government backing, it provides investors a stable, fast-growing base to scale regional production and exports.

PEIA focuses on high-growth sectors like agro-processing, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, textiles, construction materials, and recycling. Investors gain access to ready demand, strong raw-material supply, and early-mover advantages across value chains create opportunities for global investors.

PEIA enables investors to replace costly imports through integrated logistics, reliable utilities, and proximity to agro-commodities. This ecosystem accelerates production of finished goods for domestic and ECOWAS markets, strengthening efficiency, competitiveness, and profitability.

Côte d'Ivoire is the world's top cocoa bean and raw cashew exporter, producing 45% of global cocoa. This creates an exceptional cost advantage. With surging cashew processing and government targets for 50% local transformation by 2030, investors can secure consistent supply, capture more value locally, and build competitive export-ready scalable operations.

Located in one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies, PEIA gives investors direct access to rising ECOWAS demand. Strong cashew and cocoa export leadership further positions the zone as a gateway to West Africa’s expanding consumer and industrial markets.

Côte d’Ivoire’s consistent 6%+ growth, low inflation, and rising income levels create a secure environment for long-term industrial investment. With regional-leading GDP per capita, investors gain stability, purchasing power, and predictable demand for locally produced goods.

PEIA-based manufacturers enjoy duty-free access to Europe via the EPA, plus future AfCFTA opportunities across a $3.4 trillion market. ECOWAS and WAEMU frameworks ensure monetary stability, making exports predictable and cross-border expansion smoother.

With over 40 million tons of annual traffic, the Port of Abidjan provides unmatched logistical efficiency. Investors benefit from fast cargo movement, reliable trade flows, and seamless global connectivity, crucial for competitive export-oriented manufacturing.

PEIA combines strong growth, political stability, low financing spreads, and WAEMU-backed monetary discipline. Investors gain a predictable investment climate, competitive financing, and access to Africa’s most dynamic industrial growth corridor.

PEIA offers turnkey infrastructure, stable utilities, and a streamlined single-window system that reduces setup time and bureaucracy. Supported through a public-private partnership with ARISE IIP, investors benefit from coordinated services designed for fast, compliant deployment.
