Côte d'Ivoire is set to launch an agricultural commodities exchange at the end of March, starting with the trade of fresh cashews, kola nuts, and corn. The exchange, as explained by Edoh Kossi Amenounve, head of the BRVM exchange, will serve as a price reference for national and international commercial contract negotiations. The exchange is expected to also trade in natural rubber, palm oil, and cocoa, which are primary exports of the country.
