From November 20 to 22, 2026, the city of Abidjan will host the fifth edition of the Abidjan Livestock Summit (SELAB 2026). This essential event for professionals in the sector will take place at the Palais des Sports de Treichville. The initiative, led by the structure Next Sustainable Initiatives with the institutional support of the Ministry of Animal and Fishery Resources, places food sovereignty at the heart of the debates. In a context where nutritional independence is becoming a major issue for African economies, SELAB 2026 aims to be a platform for concrete solutions. The program for this edition focuses on three priority levers: genetic improvement of livestock, integration of new technologies in livestock practices, and the revitalization of private investment flows. By targeting these axes, the organizers hope to offer local actors the necessary tools to modernize animal sectors. Although the objectives are clearly defined, the precise details of the conference program and the list of participating experts will be specified as the deadline approaches, allowing for the measurement of the actual impact of this edition on national production.
