« We have made the choice to build an agriculture that honours the work of our 2,170 farmers. Every bean, every seed we collect carries the mark of a family, a village, a land. By processing locally, we no longer just sell raw materials: we are building the future here, at home. I invite you to walk alongside us. »

A special thank-you to the parents of Petit Bouaké for their generous gifts to the CBC: a goat, a chicken, yams and a bunch of plantain bananas. This fraternal gesture, full of generosity and consideration, goes straight to our hearts.
