At a press conference on April 29, Mr. Adama Coulibaly, General Director of the Cotton Council in Côte d'Ivoire, reiterated and confirmed that the floor price per kg of raw cashew was FCFA 400 for the 2020 crop, as it was set at the beginning of the harvest on February 6

According to Abidjan.net's report, some areas were also damaged by the drought history in the north of the country. As a result, national production will decline compared to the forecast of 800,000 tons this season. This decline is mainly due to the northern production deficit of Côte D’Ivoire. It is expected that this year's production will reach about 720,000 - 750,000 tons due to cotton damage. However, the season has started quite well.

In 2019, production will reach "about 800,000 tons," Mr. Adama Coulibaly said in February even though official export only recorded 634,641 tons, the difference was explained by illegal smuggling to Neighbor country
