The Republic of Benin signed a multi-billion-dollar Memorandum of Understanding with Niger State, Nigeria, to boost cotton, maize, and soybean production. The agreement was formalized in Cotonou by Governor Umaru Bago, accompanied by Minister of State for Agriculture, Dr. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi.

The partnership will establish 55 technical centers to train mechanics, drivers, and agronomists, fostering innovation. It includes subsidized seeds and fertilizers, tailored farmer solutions, soil conservation, and progressive irrigation. Joint research and enhanced market systems will strengthen agricultural trade.


Governor Bago praised the “remarkable and unprecedented” agreement, commending Benin’s advancements and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for enabling international partnerships. Jean Patrick Yekpe outlined a phased approach, starting with 20,000 hectares in year one, expanding by 50,000 hectares in year two, and reaching 450,000 hectares by 2030 for sustainable trade.
