Rapid Logistics Capacity Assessments - March 2022:

Overview

There are ample storage facilities in the perimeters outside the ports of Abidjan and San Pedro. All the main stevedoring and C&F companies operate large warehousing facilities backed by excellent logistic services. However, spare warehouse capacity can be in very short supply during the cotton, coffee and cocoa export season (November – March). Further up country, good, well-ventilated warehouses are not as plentiful and those that do exist are not always designed for large-scale warehouse operations. The cotton, coffee and cocoa boards may have some spare capacity for rental outside the harvest season. Warehouse facilities are available in Bouake. In Ferkessédougou there is some 5.000 m² of good warehouse capacity available adjacent to the dry port /railway station. Small warehouses can be found in all the smaller townships with surfaces ranging between 200 to 500 m². They are more of the godown type with often only one small access, prohibiting mechanised handling or limiting discharging/loading operations to one truck at a time.
