Ivory Coast, officially known as the Republic of the Ivory Coast, is a coastal state located in the north of the Gulf of Guinea. The country, which is located on the southern coast of West Africa, is bordered by Guinea and Liberia to the west, Mali and Burkina Faso to the north and Gulf of Guinea to the south. The region, where Ivory Coast is located, had a kingdom built by the indigenous people. The country was one of the largest trade centers of the time. The Portuguese, who first settled in the country, managed to develop this settlement by establishing commercial bases.

Due to the intensity of ivory trade, the country was called Ivory Coast and became fully independent in 1960 after the settlements of the Spanish, Dutch, English and French in later times.

The capital of Ivory Coast, which is divided into 12 districts and two district-level autonomous cities, is Abidjan. Other important cities of the country are Agneby, Bafing, Lacs, Zanzan, Savanes, Aboisso, Bouake, Yamoussokro, Korhogo, Divo, Gagnao, Daloa, Abengourou and Agbouville. Although the official language of the country, which has a population of about 12.5 million, is French, 60 different local languages and dialects are spoken.

Dioula is one of the most spoken languages in Ivory Coast after French. The currency used in Ivory Coast is franc.

Ivory Coast, which is located on the African continent and one of the most prosperous and developed countries of the continent, has a strong economy based on agriculture, forestry and mining. Agriculture, tourism and trade make up a large part of its economy. It is one of the world's leading countries in the production of coffee, cocoa beans and palm oil.

The fact that the country's economy is mostly based on agriculture causes frequent fluctuations in economy due to the weather conditions.

Cocoa, which accounts for 33% of its export products, is the most important source of income. The other main export products are tropical trees, petroleum, cotton, bananas, palm oil and fish.

Two different types of climates (hot/humid and rainy/arid) are seen in the south of Ivory Coast, which is located in the tropical climate zone, while the savanna climate prevails in the north of the country.

November and March are mild, March and May are hot and arid, June and October are hot and humid.
