Production lines for Ivorian manufacturers — in the DAICE decade.
Côte d'Ivoire has committed serious money to industrialisation — the DAICE programme, the PK24 industrial zone, a target of industry at 30% of GDP by 2030 — and the investment announcements are real factories, not press releases. CISH delivers cassava processing, packaging and building materials lines into that momentum: supplied from China through Abidjan, installed and commissioned in Côte d'Ivoire, supported in written French and English.
Funded industrial policy — with real factories to show for it.
- The DAICE programme (Diversification, Accélération Industrielle, Compétitivité et Emplois) reported 72,155 billion FCFA in consolidated commitments by December 2025, targeting 100 SMEs in technical assistance and 20+ industrial upgrades. DAICE / koaci, 2025-12
- The PND 2026–2030 targets industry rising from 22.7% to 30% of GDP — with 14 economic development zones announced and industrial zones planned across all 31 regions. PND 2026–2030 / Ministry of Commerce, 2026
- Akoupé-Zeudji PK24 is the flagship: 1,000 ha total, 431 ha of industrial land, ≈120 billion FCFA — where the TRANSCAO cement complex (140 billion FCFA) was inaugurated in June 2025. PEIA / africa24tv, 2025
- Real private investment follows: the Twyford/Keda ceramic tile plant at Alépé — US$54 million, 12 million m²/year — plus soy and shea processing units in the tens of billions of FCFA. sikafinance, 2025
- Import route: the RFCV is mandatory for cargo ≥1,000,000 FCFA FOB via the GUCE single window — no RFCV, no validated declaration; the maritime DARRV runs on a five-day clock. CODINORM adds conformity requirements for some industrial products at Abidjan. GUCE / douanes.ci, 2026 · accessed 2026-08-24
- Taxes: ECOWAS TEC puts capital equipment at 5% duty, VAT 18%, plus community levies — the aggregate belongs in the budget before the order, and deductible VAT belongs in the cash-flow plan. douanes.ci / TEC SH2022, 2026 · accessed 2026-08-24
- Power, honestly: after the 2026 generation incidents at Azito and CIPREL, the government adopted a ≈32 billion FCFA emergency programme (April 2026), and CIE ran major southern-Abidjan grid reinforcement in August 2026 (90 kV lines upgraded, a substation moving to 225 kV). Industrial tariffs are high by continental standards — energy-efficient line design pays here. jeuneafrique / CIE, 2026 · accessed 2026-08-24
- The block-machine market is saturated at the low-ticket end — Turkish and Chinese vendors sell manual and semi-automatic machines hard into Abidjan. That tier is served; our tier is the plant. Our French-language guide covers it honestly: machine à parpaing en Côte d'Ivoire. CISH market research, 2026

Cassava first. Packaging and materials close behind.
1 · Cassava & attiéké processing
From semi-industrial attiéké units to complete cassava plants — peeling, grating, pressing, drying — in the market where local demand for this line is best proven.
Cassava plant costs →2 · Food packaging & filling
Fill-cap-label monoblocks through complete lines for water, juice and food — sized against Abidjan's retail shelf and the CODINORM conformity path.
Filling machine prices →3 · Building materials — the plant tier
The low-ticket block machine market is saturated; the underserved tier is the commissioned plant with batching, curing and QC. That's the tier we quote, with the honest arithmetic.
Block plant prices & sizing →Written French, scheduled projects, honest sequencing.
Installation & commissioning: mobilised as planned projects — senior engineers, agreed output on your product, documented handover with French-language documentation.
Training: operators and maintenance staff trained on your line before and during commissioning — working language English with written French support materials.
Between visits: remote diagnostics with written-French WhatsApp support, parts on our China–Africa channel and onward through Abidjan as planned freight.
Delivered work: this support model is proven on real lines — a hybrid bottling line and a FAT-rescue procurement case among them, commissioned from our Johannesburg base. Case studies with numbers →

What we won't pretend in Côte d'Ivoire — said plainly: we have not yet delivered a completed project in Côte d'Ivoire; first projects carry first-project terms — conservative commitments, senior engineers, honest pricing. Support is in written French and English; no francophone office exists and none is claimed. No financing. The manual and semi-automatic block machine market is well served by existing vendors — we compete at the plant tier, and our French guide says exactly where that line falls.
Asked by Ivorian manufacturers.
1 t/day complete ≈US$17k–30k FOB; mid-size US$15k–50k; larger plants US$100k–270k — then ×1.25–1.45 landed through Abidjan. Full arithmetic in the cassava guide.
Mandatory for cargo ≥1,000,000 FCFA FOB via the GUCE — without it the declaration isn't validated; the maritime DARRV runs a five-day clock. Sequenced before the vessel it's paperwork; late, it's demurrage. We handle the sequence. Details in the French import guide.
Not yet — and we'd rather tell you than have you find out. First projects carry first-project terms: conservative commitments, senior engineers on site, honest pricing, written-French support.
Yes — the 2026 Azito/CIPREL incidents triggered a ≈32bn FCFA emergency programme and CIE grid reinforcement in Abidjan (Aug 2026). Every quote includes generator changeover and voltage protection; high industrial tariffs also make energy-efficient design pay. Context: power & line selection.
In written French, yes — quotes, documentation and WhatsApp support — with English as the working language on site. Our French guides cover importing, turnkey plants and block machinery.
