Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) is the single most important origin in global cocoa supply chains. The country produces approximately 2.2–2.4 million metric tonnes of cocoa beans per year, representing 40–45% of world supply. The cocoa is processed domestically into cocoa liquor (paste), cocoa butter, cocoa cake, and cocoa powder at processing facilities in Abidjan, San Pedro, and other locations. Barry Callebaut, Cargill, Olam, and CEMOI all operate large cocoa grinding factories in Ivory Coast, making the country not only the world's leading cocoa bean exporter but also a growing processor of cocoa derivatives for global food manufacturers. Red palm oil (in French, huile de palme rouge) is a traditional cooking fat in Ivorian and West African cuisine. Ivory Coast is both a producer (plantations in the south and southwest of the country) and a consumer of red palm oil for traditional cooking purposes. Cassava-derived products are a major food category: attiéké (fermented, granulated cassava semolina — a staple side dish similar to couscous) is produced in Ivory Coast and exported to the West African diaspora. Groundnut (peanut) oil is produced domestically and used widely in West African cooking. Dried chili peppers, plantains, and smoked fish are important food ingredients sourced wholesale from Ivorian markets.
