Trade and economic cooperation
Côte d'Ivoire has one of the most dynamically developing economies in Africa. Positive economic growth dynamics are projected. In 2024, GDP was $87.1 billion ($2,723 per capita), or 106% of the 2023 level. The IMF estimate for 2025 is $99.2 billion (106.3% of the 2024 level). GDP structure: services — 54.6%, industry — 23.9%, agriculture — 14.4%, other industries — 7.1%.
The socio-economic situation in the country remains stable. Medium-term economic growth prospects for Côte d'Ivoire remain sustainable primarily due to the development of agriculture, industry, trade, and the influx of foreign investment. The government's implementation of consistent reforms aimed at promoting entrepreneurship, structural transformation, and increasing the share of the private sector in the country's economy indicate a favorable economic outlook for the short and medium term.
From the perspective of bilateral trade and economic relations and given the priority development of agriculture in Côte d'Ivoire, further increasing the supply of mineral fertilizers and developing the organization of exports of Belarusian agricultural machinery seems promising. Belarusian enterprises are encouraged to pursue a more active marketing policy to promote their products on the Ivorian market and to participate in international exhibitions held in the country. Thus, organizing a Belarusian exposition within the framework of a major international exhibition “Agrofood West Africa” (Abidjan, October) with thematic presentations of Belarusian enterprises will allow for specific practical steps to be taken to enter the market of this country.
