Côte d'Ivoire's Le Sommet de l’Élevage d’Abidjan (SELAB) Abidjan Livestock Show 2026 is a prime opportunity for U.S. agribusinesses and USDA-FAS cooperators to engage with one of West Africa's most significant agricultural trade platforms. With the United States designated as the Country of Honor, the event offers exhibitors high-visibility presence before an expected 30,000 visitors, 150+ exhibitors, and representatives from 16 countries. Organized in partnership with the Ivorian Ministry of Animal Resources and Fisheries (MIRAH), SELAB serves as the definitive business-to-business and policy forum for Francophone West Africa's animal production sector, covering livestock genetics, animal feed and nutrition, and veterinary health. U.S. exporters, particularly those in tropical cattle genetics and climate-adapted animal feed formulations, will find a receptive market actively seeking U.S. expertise to modernize its livestock value chain.
