In rural areas and among low-income urban communities, people tend to eat one or two meals per day. These tend to be very heavy meals, especially in rural areas where manual labour and farm work are common.
The political climate in Cote d’Ivoire has been stable since the presidential elections in October 2020. This peaceful political climate has allowed companies to continue business as usual and consumer confidence to increase.

Retail volume sales of staple foods will exhibit robust growth during the forecast period – albeit at a slightly lower rate than in the review period. Growth will be supported by ongoing population growth and urbanisation, in addition to an anticipated post-pandemic economic rebound and widening distribution, as the country’s retail infrastructure continues to modernise.
