The 2022-2023 agricultural season will be opened this April 28 –But until then, enormous efforts have been made by the government to raise Benin to the rank of Africa’s food-producing countries.

“Despite substantial efforts, fertilizer prices are still prohibitive and the threats to agricultural production are real. Consequently, State intervention is required to stabilize transfer prices at a sustainable level, in order to promote a successful agricultural season, particularly for food products.

Gaston Dossouhoui, Minister of Agriculture, stresses that the effort of the State today is for the benefit of Beninese farmers.

“We are moving towards the end of the ginning process. Mali has already processed 760,000 tons and has declared itself to be the first in Africa.
