UN Food Agency Targets $200 Million for Ivory Coast Farm Sector

The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization plans to mobilize more than $200 million in private investment for Ivory Coast’s agriculture sector.

The agency will seek to raise the funds at a forum in the West African nation’s commercial capital, Abidjan, later this year, with the goal of channeling fresh capital directly to farmers and agribusinesses, FAO country representative Joseph Nyemah said in an interview on Thursday.
