2026–2027 Cotton Campaign: Price Set at 310 CFA Francs per Kilogram as Recovery Plan Announced

Ivorian Agriculture Minister Bruno Nabagné Koné kept the 2026–2027 farm-gate price for seed cotton at 310 CFA francs per kilogram for first grade and 290 CFA francs for second grade. The state plans to provide 6.8 billion CFA francs for inputs and 22.5 billion in price support, while the sector’s pricing mechanism sets the base price at 246 CFA francs per kilogram. In 2025–2026, production reached 310,107 tonnes and average yields rose to 1,069 kg per hectare, but the number of growers fell to 79,979 from 106,000 three years earlier. The government aims to restore farmers’ confidence, expand local processing and pay 30.3 billion CFA francs in overdue subsidies within days.

After leaving its “grey list,” what the FATF now recommends to Côte d’Ivoire

Côte d’Ivoire left the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list on October 30, 2026, having been placed on it in October 2024. The FATF praised significant progress made through institutional and regulatory reforms to strengthen the country’s efforts against money laundering and terrorist financing. Measures cited include greater international cooperation, risk-based supervision, and stronger checks on beneficial ownership information. The European Commission still lists Côte d’Ivoire as a high-risk third country, but may review its status following the FATF decision.

Behind the Palace: President Bassirou Diomaye Faye Faces a New Dilemma

Senegal’s National Assembly rejected the 2026 revised finance bill by 109 votes to 20, with three abstentions, ending its examination. The proposal projected budget resources of 5,848.7 billion CFA francs and a deficit of 1,735.2 billion, or 7.6% of GDP, while energy subsidies rose to 790.3 billion.
