African Agricultural Union
The African Agricultural Union (Syndicat Agricole Africain) was an association of African planters in the Ivory Coast founded in 1944 by Félix Houphouët-Boigny. It campaigned against forced labour, which favoured European planters, and against the unequal treatment of African coffee and cocoa growers. Its network formed the base of the Democratic Party of Ivory Coast, founded in 1946, the year forced labour was abolished.
