Mamini Gyi is a town in the West African country of Côte d'Ivoire, located in the east-central part of the country, within the territory of the Vallée du Bandama, situated in the transition zone between the tropical rainforest and the savannah, where agriculture is the mainstay of the local economy, with the cultivation of crops such as cacao, coffee, and cassava, and with the preservation of the traditional craft market in the neighboring villages. As a small regional trading center, it is connected to the distribution of agricultural products in the surrounding area, and has a population of about tens of thousands, with a predominance of Bakwé and other ethnic groups, and the language spoken is Diyura (Jula) and French. Although not a major tourist town, the unique culture of tribal festivals and traditional dances showcases Côte d'Ivoire's diverse ethnicity.
