The Ivory Coast is one of Africa's leading countries in industry and
|
|
agriculture. This small country is located in West Africa on the Coast of
|
|
Guinea where it is bordered by Mali and Burkina Faso on the north and by
|
|
Guinea and Liberia on the west. The land itself is approximately 322,463
|
|
sq.kilometers and 124,504 sq.miles in size. With a population of around
|
|
12,600,000 people, of which 2,000,000 are foreigners from Burkina Faso and
|
|
Ghana, the Ivory Coast is known for it's cultural diversity which started
|
|
back in 1637 when it became a French Missionary contact. Then, in
|
|
1843-1845, it became an official proctrate of France. Thus, in 1893, the
|
|
Ivory Coast became a French colony and remained part of French West Africa
|
|
from 1904-1958. Finally in 1960, independence was gained from the overseas
|
|
country of France.
|
|
|
|
In the Ivory Coast, which is a Republic, they have a semi-democratic
|
|
system. The position of president, currently being held by Felix
|
|
Houphocet-Boigny, is elected to serve 5-year terms. Also, the president can
|
|
run for re-election as many times as he chooses. For example, the current
|
|
president was re-elected to serve a seventh term in 1990. Plus, there is a
|
|
National Assembly comprised of about 120 people who help to govern the
|
|
country.
|
|
|
|
The nation has a tremendously stable economy because of the great amount
|
|
of products that they produce for exporting. The Ivory Coast is the world's
|
|
largest cocoa producer and the third largest coffee producer. These
|
|
products alone bring in more than half of all export earnings. In addition,
|
|
sugarcane, pineapples, oil palms, rubber, cotton, and bananas are also
|
|
grown for export. The major problem of the country is the foreign debt
|
|
which has grown extremely large due to massive amounts of loans given to
|
|
the country by France. Plus, this increases taxes. The country's per capita
|
|
is $ 740 and it's GNP (Gross National Product) is $ 8.59 billion.
