Côte d'Ivoire is a member of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and represents 40% of ECOWAS’ GDP. The country’s economy is agriculture based. Côte d'Ivoire is the world’s top producer of cacao and a major producer of coffee, hevea and palm oil. The country also has significant petroleum and mining resources that are still under exploited. After ten years of instability and a post-election crisis that shook the country from December 2010 to April 2011, Côte d'Ivoire is now in an economic reconstruction and revival phase. Canada already has major investments in Côte d'Ivoire in the mining and petroleum sector. While carefully tracking the evolution of Côte d'Ivoire's security situation, we are of the opinion that trade with this country could increase in the sectors where Canadian companies are competitive.

Where does this information come from?
The information displayed in this table is extracted from the Trade Opportunities Matrix (TOM), an EDC tool used to rank opportunities based on a range of economic, financial and industry-specific criteria. It is important keep in mind that the TOM rankings refer to potential export opportunities, which may not reflect actual Canadian exports. - TOM is an empirically-based tool that provides an objective and forward-looking analysis of the most attractive markets for Canadian exporters.
- Using up-to-date economic and financial criteria, TOM ranks Canadian export opportunities in 44 industries, across 69 countries.
- TOM provides an objective starting point for export market research, which can be used to complement in-depth industry analysis and sector-specific knowledge.
Please refer to the TOM background paper for additional details.
