Brassivoire is a modern brewery in Anyama, north of Abidjan, opened in 2017 as a joint venture between Heineken and the CFAO Group. Brassivoire's entry into the Ivorian market ended SOLIBRA's decades-long monopoly and triggered a wave of innovation and price competition that benefited consumers. The brewery uses state-of-the-art sustainable technologies to minimize water and energy consumption. A special feature of Brassivoire is the use of locally grown rice in the recipe for its main product, 'Ivoire.' This promotes local agriculture and creates a close bond between industry and Ivorian farmers. The facility is considered one of the greenest breweries in Africa and sets high standards in occupational safety and quality assurance.
