Côte d’Ivoire, country in the spotlight at the next SIA!
Côte d’Ivoire at SIA 2026!
Côte d’Ivoire will be the guest country at the next Paris International Agricultural Show. After Morocco in 2025, West Africa’s leading agricultural power will co-inaugurate this edition, to be held from 21 February to 1 March at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles.
At the heart of a fast-growing economy, Côte d’Ivoire relies on major agricultural sectors: the world’s leading cocoa producer, a global leader in cashew nuts, and also a producer of natural rubber, hevea, rice, bananas and many other emblematic crops of the region. This is truly an agriculture in motion.
When agriculture brings together political commitment, farmers’ passion and efforts, and a society that values the food it produces, the result can only be positive.
In this context, exchanges between France and Côte d’Ivoire have intensified: France is the country’s leading trading partner and exports a wide range of agricultural products there.
Beyond figures, this cooperation is also expressed through the circulation of expertise, solutions, innovations and technical support that strengthen both agricultural systems.
The Ivorian agricultural associative network finds its counterpart in France, giving rise to exchanges that are friendly, technical, union-based and forward-looking.

"Highlighting Côte d’Ivoire at the SIA means choosing friendship between peoples, agricultural friendship and the sharing of experience. After Morocco in 2025, Côte d’Ivoire is the ideal guest to share both a vision and solutions to our common agricultural challenges. For the second year in a row, the SIA is building bridges with the international community in the service of exhibitors, visitors and farmers."
Jérôme Despey
President of the Paris International Agricultural Show
