Ivory Coast exported 1,209,371 tonnes of natural rubber from January to October 2022, up about 22% from the same period a year earlier, provisional port data showed on Wednesday.

Exports have risen in recent years as farmers, attracted by the promise of more stable incomes, have increasingly switched to rubber from cocoa and coffee.
