Ivory Coast has abundant natural resources that enable it to achieve economic growth and a competitive market role (Jasińska & Guei, 2022). Among natural resources, the most valuable ones are agricultural; in particular, they focus on such products as cotton, cocoa, coffee, and rubber (Sagna et al., 2021). Cotton remains a vital input in the textile and apparel industries since it forms the main raw material for products produced within the country and exported to other countries. Côte d’Ivoire has rich mineral resources like gold, diamond, and manganese that do not as much influence the textile industry (Zonkouan et al., 2022). Timber and other forest products are among the more important sources of revenue in the area.
