Potential barriers to U.S. exports and investment include:

• Côte d’Ivoire’s relatively small market size; limited market data; and perceived European domination of the market
• Government procurement process needs improvement (in terms of governance)
•  Intellectual property rights need stronger enforcement
• Slow and relatively long court system
• Prohibitively expensive air and sea freight rates and long transit times.
