In Côte d’Ivoire, officials from the Coffee-Cocoa Council educated producers and traders in the Taï department about regulations for the 2026-2027 commercial campaign.
The regional delegation of Guémon/Cavally held the meeting on October 22, 2026. Trade volumes from the Taï department increased by approximately 75 percent, rising from 32,000 to 56,000 tonnes between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 campaigns. This growth is linked to decreased illegal exports of agricultural products to neighboring Liberia, a country bordering Taï.
Chief Squadron Leader Agou Ollei of Operation “Verrou 322” warned those in the coffee and cocoa sector that violating regulations would result in legal consequences. The department also received support from the Coffee-Cocoa Council, including seeds for 52 hectares of cocoa and 129 hectares of coffee, as well as school supplies and equipment.
