OIA Café-Cacao: Thibaut Yoro Suspended as a Precautionary Measure

OIA Café-Cacao CI announced on October 25, 2026, the precautionary suspension of Thibaut Yoro, the ONPCC-CI representative in the Gagnoa region and an administrator of the organization. The measure takes effect on October 26, pending review of his case by the board of directors scheduled for November 3. Reports allege that he offered to facilitate the unloading of residual cocoa stocks in exchange for money; several cooperatives say they paid him but the promised operations did not take place. The organization says the allegations remain under review and that the suspension is not a final finding of responsibility.
