Refined Petroleum Import of Ivory Coast: The Information of the Top Trade Partners in 2024

Ivory Coast, situated in western Africa surrounded by Liberia, Burkina Faso, and Ghana in the north and east direction, has emerged as a top importer of refinery petroleum in the international trade market. Ivory Coast Export Data says, the growth rate of the national fuel consumption is expected to be 6% in 2024 with an approximate 65,000 barrels per day, accompanied by the up gradation of the refineries, which has boosted the import rate. For the optimal operation of existing plants, several crude oils are being demanded from the domestic authorities to align the crude feedstock in transition phases, contributing to the increase in imports. The regional supply hub emergence, due to the aim of Ivory Coast to become a West African refining hub, has also been fueling the import levels in a temporary manner, as the country has been expanding its refinery output capacity.

The efficient production rate of the industrial sectors and the substantial dependency on imports accompanied by the rising disposable incomes and growing middle-class population have resulted in an import trade value of refined petroleum worth 9 billion US dollars in 2024.

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES SUPPORTING THE IMPORT OF REFINED PETROLEUM IN THE IVORY COAST IN 2024

The government-implemented measures for a steady regulation of the imports stabilized the domestic petroleum market while ensuring the price consistency for computers. The suspension of petroleum excise duties and customs reduction in response to the rising energy cost has reduced the excise on petroleum products. The initiative was structured to lower the customs duties on fuel imports in 2024. The initiative aims to stabilize the retail prices while ensuring the affordability of the services.

The abolishment of the TSDAR refining tax is to improve the financial flows for refinery operations in an effective manner while facilitating the continuous import and processing in 2024. The strategic refinery upgrading and hydrocarbon harbor policy by the government has endorsed major investment in refinery capacity; ensuring that the refineries could import the specific grades of crude oil and intermediate products necessary for phased upgrades.
