Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast is a country located in West Africa, known for its government-led agricultural initiatives aimed at empowering its citizens. One such initiative is taking place in Fapaha, a 13-hectare field situated 20 km from Korhogo in northern Côte d'Ivoire. Here, dozens of hardworking women cultivate various vegetables including onions, lettuce, cabbage, and carrots.
This agricultural project not only provides employment opportunities for the local women but also contributes to the country's food security and economic growth. By growing a diverse range of vegetables, Ivory Coast aims to meet the increasing demand for fresh produce and reduce its reliance on imports. Additionally, this initiative promotes sustainable farming practices, ensuring the long-term viability of the agricultural sector.
