FAO and World Bank Brief Examines Côte d’Ivoire’s Agricultural Landscape
Abidjan, September 12, 2026: A new statistical brief from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Bank, produced under the 50×2030 Initiative, provides fresh insights into agricultural households in Côte d’Ivoire during the 2024–25 agricultural season.

The publication brings together detailed information on how farming households use land, grow crops, raise livestock and obtain agricultural inputs. The data is intended to provide a clearer picture of the country’s agricultural sector and the conditions faced by farming communities.
Detailed Look at Agricultural Households
Agriculture remains an important part of Côte d’Ivoire’s economy and rural livelihoods. Understanding how households manage their agricultural activities is therefore essential for policymakers seeking to improve productivity and strengthen rural development.
The new brief examines several components of agricultural production, including land use, crop cultivation, livestock activities and agricultural inputs.
Such information can help identify differences in farming practices and resource use while providing evidence for policies designed to support farmers.
Importance of Reliable Agricultural Statistics
Accurate agricultural data is essential for understanding changes in rural economies and designing effective development programs.
Information collected at the household level can help governments and development organizations assess production patterns, identify constraints faced by farmers and better target agricultural investments.
The 50×2030 Initiative seeks to strengthen agricultural data systems in developing countries by supporting the collection and use of high-quality agricultural statistics.
Insights for Côte d’Ivoire’s Agricultural Future
The 2024–25 season data offers an updated snapshot of agricultural households across Côte d’Ivoire. Information on crops, livestock, land and inputs can contribute to a deeper understanding of how farming households participate in the country’s agricultural economy.
The findings can also support future research and policy discussions on agricultural productivity, food security, rural livelihoods and sustainable development.
By making detailed agricultural statistics available, the FAO, World Bank and 50×2030 Initiative aim to help policymakers and researchers make decisions based on stronger evidence about the realities of farming households in Côte d’Ivoire.
