The African operations of Global Grain Solution are coordinated through 2ai.ci, based in Abidjan. Established for more than 30 years, 2AI.CI serves as the group’s operational platform in Africa and plays a central role in the development of post-harvest and agro-industrial projects across the continent. From Abidjan, the teams support agro-industrial companies, agricultural cooperatives, institutional stakeholders and private investors in the design, construction and modernization of grain handling and agro-industrial facilities. GGS Africa relies on a structured local organization combining commercial expertise, specialized agro-industrial engineering and experienced technical teams responsible for installation, commissioning and long-term service. This integrated approach ensures proximity, responsiveness and continuous project follow-up throughout the region. From its base in Côte d’Ivoire, GGS Africa operates across West, Central, East and Southern Africa, adapting its engineering standards to diverse climatic, logistical and regulatory environments while maintaining the technical consistency of an international group.

Integrated engineering and local execution
In Africa, GGS deploys an integrated project approach combining international engineering expertise with local execution. The group’s engineering office and the African engineering team jointly deliver the complete engineering of each project, including:
Technical studies and system sizing
3D modeling and process layouts
Mechanical and structural calculations
Full mechanical, electrical and automation integration
Projects are designed to meet the specific constraints of the continent, including climatic conditions, energy availability, local raw materials and operational requirements.
Adaptation to regional realities
The long-standing experience of the African team enables precise adaptation to regional realities such as locally available workforce, simplified maintenance requirements and reinforced equipment durability. Execution relies on a structured organization based on:
Centralized project management
Mobilization of local teams and regional partners
Equipment installation and supervision
Commissioning of the facilities
Training of operating personnel
This organization ensures the delivery of reliable, durable installations fully adapted to local operating conditions.
Grain storage solutions
GGS designs storage installations adapted to both rural and industrial environments. Rural systems are dimensioned according to harvest capacity and integrate cleaning, drying and storage close to production areas.
Cocoa bean conditioning
For industrial projects, GGS develops high-capacity installations connected to rice mills, flour mills or feed units, ensuring efficient intake, processing, storage and continuous product flow. Cocoa conditioning is a historical expertise of GGS and 2AI.CI in Africa.
Turnkey agro-industrial projects
GGS delivers complete agro-industrial facilities such as rice mills, flour mills and feed production units. Projects integrate full engineering, installation, commissioning and operator training to ensure reliable and long-term performance.
