Côte d'Ivoire
Tags: Côte d'Ivoire, Africa, Western Africa, country background, displacement, returnees, IDPs, malnutrition, conflict,
Agriculture is a major driver of economic growth in Côte d’Ivoire – one of the top exporters of cocoa – and two-thirds of Ivorian households earn a living from it. But recent political unrest, preceded by a decade-long crisis, has made it difficult for most to provide for themselves. Steep prices for food and agricultural inputs like seeds and fertilizers have only made matters worse. FAO is helping returnees and communities that hosted refugees and the displaced to kick-start agricultural production – and, in turn, help lower the country’s alarming malnutrition rates.
