The equipment market in Côte d'Ivoire
Côte d'Ivoire is French-speaking West Africa's largest economy, and Abidjan is a regional hub for equipment dealers.
Roads, bridges, housing and port works drive construction demand, and gold mining is growing fast. Cocoa, rubber and palm oil plantations use tractors and forestry machines. Abidjan's port also serves landlocked Burkina Faso and Mali.
