The Agence Côte d’Ivoire Export participated in the 2nd National Days for Cotton, Cashew, and Shea Producers (JNPCA 2026), held on 6 and 7 February 2026 in Yamoussoukro, at the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Foundation for Peace Research.

A key highlight of the event was the signing of a partnership agreement between the Côte d’Ivoire Export Agency and the Cotton, Cashew, and Shea Council. This marks a significant milestone in strengthening the support provided to stakeholders within these sectors. The partnership aims to provide long-term structure to value chains, promote sector-specific products, and facilitate their access to regional and international markets.

“This agreement will provide stakeholders in the cashew, cotton, and shea sectors with comprehensive support, ranging from export readiness to the conquest of international markets,” stated Dr Kaladji Fadiga, Director General of the Côte d’Ivoire Export Agency.

The Director General of the Cotton, Cashew, and Shea Council emphasised the importance of this collaboration in better connecting national production to the opportunities offered by external markets.

Through its participation in JNPCA 2026, the Agence Côte d’Ivoire Export confirms its commitment to supporting priority agricultural sectors and sustainably positioning Ivorian products within global value chains.
