Cote d’Ivoire is the world’s largest producer and exporter of cocoa beans.  The country’s economy was, for a long time, heavily dependant on agriculture and its related activities.  For that reason, the government has put a lot of efforts and energy into attempts to diversify its economy.  The strategy proved successful because since 2006, oil and gas production have become more important engines of economic activity than cocoa.  According to statistics from the International Monetary Fund, earnings from oil and refined products reached $1.3 billion in 2006, while cocoa-related revenues were $1 billion during the same period. Cote d’Ivoire’s offshore oil and gas production has resulted in substantial crude oil exports and provides sufficient natural gas to fuel electricity exports to Ghana, Togo, Benin, Mali and Burkina Faso.  Oil exploration by a number of consortiums of private companies continues offshore and the president, Laurent Gbagbo, is confident that daily crude output will reach 200,000 barrels per day by the end of the decade.
