The agriculture sector in Côte d'Ivoire has shown volatility, starting with a high 32.5% contribution to GDP in 1990, dropping to around 16-18% in recent years. Economic reforms and diversification efforts, along with political instability in the 1990s and 2000s, influenced this decline. By 2004, agriculture’s share dropped significantly as the economy opened to other sectors, notably mining and manufacturing.
Recent stability in the sector’s share around 17-18% reflects Côte d'Ivoire’s continued dependence on agricultural exports, particularly cocoa and coffee, which remain critical to its economy. Agricultural resilience amid diversification highlights its role in sustaining rural employment and economic stability.
