SIPH’s production in 2020 was more than 305,000 tons and is forecast to reach 400,000 tons in 2023. Côte d’Ivoire, where the Group first started rubber production in West Africa, represents about 72% of overall production.

SIPH continues to look for expansion of its plantation area, currently SIPH has 61 000 ha of rubber plantations and 3 000 ha of oil palm plantations. Previously operating in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, the Group expanded to Nigeria in 2006 and then to Liberia in 2009.

SIPH’s development plans:

• Regular replanting of trees, with improved clones and better agronomy techniques
• Increased planted areas, where possible, especially in Nigeria, Ghana, and Liberia
• Increasing sourcing from out-growers, especially in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana.
