Earlier Report Observations
The sugar cane market in Côte d'Ivoire expanded from 2 026 тыс. т in 2018 to 2 100 тыс. т in 2019, supported by the established industrial irrigated cultivation practices of major companies like SUCAF in favorable growing zones such as Ferké. This growth aligned with positive medium-term prospects within the UEMOA market for Ivorian sugar enterprises. However, production contracted to 1 970 тыс. т in 2020 before rebounding strongly to 2 129 тыс. т in 2021. This recovery was underpinned by the state's protective policies aimed at controlling inflation and shielding local industry players, which helped stabilize domestic output.
Market volumes then entered a period of stabilization, remaining around 2 130 тыс. т through 2022 and 2023. This steadiness followed the implementation of direct government interventions, including an interministerial decree in June 2022 that capped retail sugar prices to regulate the local market. Further stability was reinforced in 2023 when the authorities suspended sugar exports to secure domestic supply amidst price surges, while SUCAF-CI's commencement of the 2023/2024 harvest campaign aimed at ensuring regular market replenishment.
