About 25,000 tonnes of beans were delivered to the Abidjan port and 26,000 tonnes to the San Pedro port between February 1 to February 7 for a total of 51,000 tonnes down from 57,000 tonnes during the same week last season.
Farmers said good moisture content in the soil had helped plenty of small pods develop on trees - a strong start for the April mid-crop compared with the same period last year.
"Without upkeep of the plantations, production could fall," said Albert N'Zue, who farms near Daloa.
