(...) In order to be more effective in combating the illegal exploitation of its forests, which shrank from 16 to 2 million hectares between 2002 and 2016, Côte d'Ivoire entered the FLEGT (Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade) process in 2013 in order to enhance its forestry governance. The FLEGT action plan aims to combat illegal logging and deforestation and the associated trade.

Of a total 4 million hectares of forests "listed" (i.e. zoned by the State for protection) in 1966 and managed by the Forestry Development Agency (SODEFOR), in principle for conservation, more than two thirds have reportedly been destroyed. SODEFOR is also responsible for organizing plantations, administering export quotas and reforestation.

Relevant information

Wood exports are subject to the DUS, ranging from 1% to 35%, applied to the reference prices that date from 1994 and are often lower than the actual export prices. Exports of wood in log form are further subject to a reforestation tax of 2% of the reference price used as a basis for the DUS. In addition, Ivorian logs exported or sold on the domestic market are subject to a felling tax and a special forest conservation and development tax. These taxes are payable by the party making the customs declaration or by the recipient of the delivery on the domestic market.
