The latest data show that in the first quarter of 2023, Ivory Coast's rubber exports totaled 386,761 tons, an increase of 20% compared to the 322,544 tons in the same period in 2022.
Côte d'Ivoire is an important producer of natural rubber in Africa. In recent years, Côte d'Ivoire's rubber exports have increased year after year, as farmers are driven by stable income to switch their sowing crops from cocoa to rubber.
