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 — 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 starts from industry at 22.7% of GDP in 2024 and sets out to raise it through new industrial zones. PND 2026–2030 / Ministry of Commerce, 2026
- Akoupé-Zeudji PK24 is the flagship: 1,000 ha developed in phases of 62, 127 and 234 ha at about 12, 52.8 and 22 billion FCFA, per SOGEDI. PEIA / africa24tv, 2025
- Real private investment follows: the Twyford/Keda ceramic tile plant at Alépé plus soy and shea processing units. 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 →

How we work in Côte d'Ivoire — said plainly: support is delivered in written French and English — quotes, documentation and WhatsApp — with English as the working language on site. We don't provide 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.
Scenarios in Côte d'Ivoire: which row are you?
The situations we are asked about most in Côte d'Ivoire, with the realistic tier, the 2026 USD band and the first question that decides the project. The sixteen-country view is at production lines in Africa by country and line.
| Scenario | Line and first tier | The first question we ask | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attiéké and cassava processing | 1 t/day plant · US$17–30k FOB; larger 100–270k | Root supply radius | Guide |
| Bottled water | 2,000–4,000 bph · US$150–400k | Source water analysis | Guide |
| Blocks (machine à parpaing) | Semi-automatic plant · US$120–450k landed | Cement price and curing yard | Guide |
| Palm oil | 1–5 t/h plant · US$100–390k | Fruit-bunch supply | Guide |
Bands are the same ones published on this page and in the sizing guides; machinery is priced in US dollars and the local-currency cost moves with the exchange rate.
