ABIDJAN: Ivory Coast exported 434,702 tonnes of natural rubber from January to April, down 3.2% from the same period last year, provisional port data showed on Thursday.
The world’s top cocoa producer is also Africa’s leading grower of natural rubber.
Exports have risen in recent years as farmers, attracted by the promise of more stable incomes, have increasingly switched to rubber from cocoa and coffee.
