Fraude frontalière : 21 tonnes de café interceptées à Doropo

Customs Mobile Brigade agents in Varalé , Doropo department, halted a cash crop trafficking operation on Thursday, April 23, 2026. During a control operation, they seized a massive shipment of 21 tons of coffee .

An attempt at illegal export

When questioned at the scene, the couriers admitted that the merchandise was en route to Burkina Faso . The owner of the shipment was not present at the time of the raid. This operation constitutes a flagrant violation of the Customs Code , which strictly regulates the trade of agricultural commodities.

General Da Pierre Alphonse , Director General of Customs, made a point of personally congratulating his teams for their vigilance and the success of this seizure.

The reminder of the law

It is crucial to remember that Ivorian legislation is very strict on the transport of cash crops:

  1. Products concerned: Coffee, cocoa and cashew nuts.
  2. Exclusive channel: Since 2005, the export of these products must be done exclusively by sea .
  3. Authorized points of exit: Ports of Abidjan and San-Pedro exclusively.
Important note: Any attempt to export by land is strictly prohibited and considered an illegal activity throughout the national territory.
