Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Côte d’Ivoire Palm Oil and Rubber Council (CHPC) began offering a discount of 10 FCFA per kilogram of rubber to agricultural cooperatives on October 13, 2026.
The CHPC also introduced a transport allowance of up to 30 FCFA per kilogram to improve commercial practices and ensure fair competition within the rubber industry. This discount applies only to deliveries made directly to factory weighbridges, not to advanced weighbridges, and is reserved for cooperatives on the CHPC’s approved list.
The council extended a bonus, originally decided on April 29, 2026, to all deliveries, including those to private, approved weighbridges, as part of an agreement on setting the price of wet rubber. To help cover transport costs, the CHPC will reimburse suppliers based on distance, offering up to 10 FCFA/kg for distances under 100km, 20 FCFA/kg for 100 to 200km, and 30 FCFA/kg for distances exceeding 200km.
The CHPC will suspend any operator violating these rules for at least one month, in addition to financial penalties.
