AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoEid Supply Crunch: Abidjan’s Adjame market is seeing higher Tabaski prices as Ivory Coast’s usual Sahel livestock pipeline is choked—Burkina Faso halted exports, Niger followed, and Mali’s routes are disrupted by jihadist-linked violence, leaving traders with animals stuck at borders and fewer buyers able to bargain. Cocoa Outlook: The CCC says Ivory Coast cocoa output could rebound 10.5% in 2025/26 to 2.0–2.1m tons, but global prices are still pressured by rising inventories and expectations of abundant supply. Trade Facilitation Momentum: AfCFTA’s one-stop border push is spotlighting Togo’s Cinkassé OSBP, while regional connectivity talks keep returning to the same fix: faster, simpler cross-border movement. Finance & Payments: Ghana’s BoG is designing e-cedi for cross-border and wholesale payments after a pilot phase. Regional Logistics: MSC is expanding door-to-door Central Africa links via Kribi port, tying Cameroon to Chad and CAR.
