This study analyzes the achievements and challenges related to geographical indications (GIs) in Côte d’Ivoire based on an analytical and structured literature review. It shows that the country has high GI potential, based on the diversity of its territorial resources and specific know-how. More than a dozen products show strong potential, including three GIs registered in 2023: Lagoons’ Attiéké, Baoulé loincloth of Tiébissou, and mountains coffee. Institutionally, Côte d’Ivoire benefits from a relatively robust legal framework, backed by the Bangui Agreement and AIPO mechanisms, with the existence of national support structures. However, structural limitations remain: weak organizational capacities among producers, inadequate control and traceability infrastructure, fragmented institutional coordination, and heavy dependence on external support programs. Furthermore, research on typicality remains poorly integrated into governance mechanisms. All this shows that the sustainability of GIs in Côte d’Ivoire depends less on legal recognition than on strengthening collective governance and endogenous ownership by local actors.
