Centre National de Recherche Agronomique

CNRA is Côte d’Ivoire’s national agronomic research center, a public, multi-site institution serving agricultural development nationwide. Its regional network places field operations across the country, connecting applied research with local production conditions and producers. A question-and-answer service provides technical and commercial information to agro-industrial firms, producer organizations, researchers, decision-makers, and extension professionals; sector partnerships help move research into practice. Project support includes the French Development Agency, World Bank, African Development Bank, and Japan International Cooperation Agency, alongside agricultural value-chain contributions. An intellectual-property charter frames the management and sharing of research outputs.
