Development of plant-based protein and oilseed value chains inBenin: the national program approved!

Crop production remains one of the pillars of Benin’s economic growth, making a major contribution to the national GDP and food security.Yet several local crops rich in plant-based proteins and oilseed content _such as doyi , voandzou (Bambara groundnut), cowpea, groundnut, sesame and egusi seeds_ which are essential to community diets, remain underutilized and contribute […]
