Planting the seeds for the future
Horticulture trade mission to Benin
16th - 20th of October 2022
Opportunities for Dutch companies in breeding and planting materials, agrochemicals and agritech.
Over the past decade, Benin's main cities have grown tremendously, resulting in an increasing demand for quality food and a shortage of vegetables in the country.
Due to limited access to equipment, high quality inputs (including high-quality seeds, fertilizers, crop protection products, etc.) and opportunities for financing, Benin's current agricultural systems are not good enough to fill the gap between supply and demand.
For these reasons, developing the horticulture sector has been a spearhead for the Benin government since 2016. The Netherlands is considered a key partner in this.
The program of this mission was designed based on a recent market study and four business cases. Through site visits, network receptions, 1:1 matchmaking and discussions with the local government, you will get a crystal clear explanation of the opportunities for your company in Benin.
Explore and discover Benin during this physical trade and investment mission to Benin from October 16-20, 2022.
