Cotecna is a premier partner at the Choiseul Africa Summit on February 26-27, 2025, held at the Sofitel Cotonou Marina Hotel & Spa in Benin.
Representatives from Cotecna Benin will be present to engage with Africa’s top decision-makers and explore strategic growth opportunities. We are also pleased to share that Antoine ANNEY, Country General Manager, will be speaking at the panel for Agro-Industry as a Driver of Growth and Regional Competitiveness.
Agriculture represents 32.7% of Benin’s GDP and employs over 40% of its workforce, prompting the country to make significant investments in agri-food transformation to enhance its competitiveness and integration into global markets.
A prime example of this transformation is the GDIZ - Glo-Djigbé Industrial Zone, which provides cutting-edge infrastructure to minimize post-harvest losses, increase the value of local production, and boost exports of key products such as pineapple, cotton, cassava, soy, and cashew nuts.
- What levers can strengthen Benin’s brand image and boost exports?
- How can product quality be improved to meet international standards?
These critical challenges will be central to the discussions at the Choiseul Africa Summit.
