En Côte d’Ivoire, la production de café a chuté de 61,6% entre les neuf premiers mois de 2022 et les neuf premiers mois de 2023, selon la Direction des prévisions, des politiques et des statistiques économiques (DPPSE).

Algeria and Italy on Saturday signed a 420-million-euro deal ($455 million) for an agricultural project in the North African country, the Algerian agriculture ministry said in a statement. The scheme, which Italian officials called their country’s largest agricultural investment in the southern Mediterranean, covers 36,000 hectares (89,000 acres) in Algeria’s Timimoune province.
