Highlight the role of Robusta coffee in Côte d’Ivoire
Sustainability District - Hall B1
Coffee plays a vital role in Côte d’Ivoire’s economy, with Robusta (Coffea canephora) at its core. This talk by Lelepi Jean Ponce Assi from Cafedelmondo-Nardi Café explores Robusta's origins, its resilience, and its distinctive flavor profile.
Key topics include Robusta's historical and economic significance, its contributions to agricultural exports, and its impact on rural communities. Challenges such as environmental degradation, price volatility, and farmer struggles are addressed alongside opportunities in local processing, sustainable practices, and expanding global markets.
The talk concludes with a call for sustainable policies, support for small producers, and investments in local coffee processing to ensure Robusta’s future in Côte d’Ivoire’s economy.
