Cote d'Ivoire: Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana - Sweets and Snacks Expo 2026 Las Vegas - FAS Commercial Diplomacy's Sweet Returns for America's Confectionary and Snack Industries and[...]

FAS Accra, Abidjan (Post) targeted the 2026 Sweet & Snacks Expo to provide its three Coastal West Africa Region (CWAR) buyers (i.e., from Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana), to build greater awareness of the American sweets and snacks sector. Post's investment is anticipated to result in $280,000 in new sales of U.S.-origin sweets and snacks over the next 6-12 months. This represents a potential return on investment (ROI) of over 4,000 percent, that is, for each $1.00 Post invested, it is generating a potential return of roughly $40.76 for America's farmers ranchers, foresters, and the American confectionary and snack industries and its U.S. exporters. Of particular interest to Post's CWAR buyers have been American candies, chips, biscuits, and dairy-based snack products.
