Le plan à 768 milliards pour conquérir l’autosuffisance en riz

Ivory Coast is stepping up its efforts to ensure its food sovereignty. This Thursday, March 12, 2026, key players in the rice sector met in Abidjan to validate a strategic study aimed at regulating the market and boosting national production.

The stakes are high: to achieve self-sufficiency by 2027 and become the breadbasket of the sub-region by 2030.

Structural and industrial reforms

Led by Istradev Consulting with financial support from IFAD , the study proposes a concrete roadmap to fill the current gap (a production of 1.55 million tonnes for a need exceeding 2 million).

Key recommendations include:

  1. Modernization of industrial equipment: Installation of high-performance dehulling units (capacity of 2 to 5 tonnes/hour).
  2. Tax incentives: Tax breaks to attract private investors.
  3. Twinning mechanism: Create a direct link between import quotas and the purchase of local rice to stimulate domestic consumption.

A massive investment of 768 billion FCFA

To turn these ambitions into reality, a five-year financing plan of 768 billion FCFA has been outlined. This budget rests on two pillars:

  1. A regulatory fund (58 billion FCFA): Funded by the State and parafiscal levies.
  2. An Investment Fund: Mobilized through loans and support from development partners.
"The goal is to move from dependence on external markets to the status of a leading exporter in West Africa by 2030."
