Akoupe is an important city in the Bondama Valley region of central Côte d'Ivoire, about 80 kilometers north of the capital, Yamoussoukro, and serves as a transportation node between the northern and southern regions. This agricultural-centered city, surrounded by cocoa, coffee and cassava, is an important part of Côte d'Ivoire's "breadbasket". It has retained its traditional markets and craftsmen's workshops, and has developed a unique commercial atmosphere that incorporates the cultural characteristics of the Baoulé and other tribes. Despite its small size, Akoupe is a key fulcrum for economic and social development in central Côte d'Ivoire, as it continues to provide material support to the surrounding region through its stable agricultural output and easy access to land and water transportation.
