Ivory Coast

Exports of coffee beans from Ivory Coast fell by 63% in October, according to data from the country’s export hub of Abidjan.
Shipments from the port city reportedly fell to 2,710 metric tons, as compared with 7,313 tons in 2010. Ivory Coast is mostly a supplier of Robusta coffee beans, a variety mainly used in instant coffee and espresso. In spite of this, exports of soluble coffee produced in the Ivory Coast rose from 380 tons in 2010 to 492 tons this year.
