The 1st edition of the Ivorian Rice and Agrifood Fair (Firaa) will be held from 3 to 9 April in Abidjan. According to an information note, there will be a question of increasing the consumption of local rice in Côte d'Ivoire.

Côte d'Ivoire Riz Group (CIriZ), promoter of the Ivorian Rice and Agrifood Fair (Firaa), intends to give a tangible boost to this sector, which is full of potential. Local Ivorian rice is distinguished by its flavor, its fragrance and its exceptional nutritional qualities. But this commodity is struggling to position itself in the eating habits of Ivorian populations because of distribution difficulties. During this session scheduled for April, professionals in the agricultural world will try to discuss this sector, which involves thousands of actors across the country.

During 07 days, the public will be able to discover good local rice in all its facets, and in turn the diversity of the food industry in our country. She also states that Firaa is coming to solve the problem of food self-sufficiency.
