While East Africa and Latin America are often highlighted as leaders in coffee production, West Africa, particularly countries like Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Togo, has the necessary foundations to significantly increase its coffee production. Côte d'Ivoire, with an annual production of 1 to 2 million bags, is already a regional leader. Yet, the country and its neighbors have much more to offer. Currently, West Africa produces around 2 to 3 million bags per year, a tiny fraction of global production. This represents a tremendous opportunity for the region.

Cambodia currently ranks 10th among the world’s largest rice producers, both for domestic consumption and export, according to the Cambodia Rice Federation.

This remarkable achievement stems from deliberate and strategic policies under the visionary leadership of former Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen, who prioritized the development of the agricultural sector as a cornerstone of national growth. For African nations grappling with the dual challenges of food insecurity and heavy reliance on rice imports, a commodity with annual import bills exceeding $5 billion for Sub-Saharan Africa, Cambodia’s success offers a valuable roadmap.
