This program aims to respond to the many challenges facing the sector, including international competition and fluctuating world prices. The President of Asprocaf, Fanny Seydou, highlighted the major obstacles to the sector’s development, citing first and foremost price fluctuations on the world market, the lack of modern mechanisms to improve production, and the difficulties of marketing Ivorian coffee, a key product of the national economy.
To meet these challenges, Asprocaf has drawn up a plan structured around three axes: innovation, training and product enhancement. Key initiatives include training programs for producers, partnerships with financial institutions to facilitate mechanization, and promotional actions to raise the profile of Ivorian coffee on international markets. Fanny Seydou also stressed the importance of collaboration with state structures to modernize production and export methods. He asserted that
mechanization of agricultural practices and better management of natural resources are essential to guarantee the sustainability of our sector in the face of today’s environmental challenges.
According to him, these modernization efforts could improve working conditions for producers and strengthen Ivory Coast’s position as a leader in the production of quality coffee.Asprocaf’s ambition is not limited to simple modernization, but also aims to build resilience in the face of economic and environmental shocks.
These actions are crucial to ensure the sustainability and growth of the Ivorian agricultural sector,
he added. The association’s members are ready to play an active role in implementing this plan, which represents the hope of a profound transformation for the Ivorian coffee sector.
With this strategy, Asprocaf hopes to revitalize the coffee sector in Ivory Coast and strengthen the country’s competitiveness on the international scene. The challenge is an ambitious one, but the producers, backed by this innovative vision, are determined to rise to it. As such, Asprocaf’s press conference marks a decisive turning point for the future of Ivorian coffee, which could soon experience a veritable renaissance.
