| Abstract | "Local Government Approach for Agricultural Market in Benin (ACMA)" program, aimed at enhancing food security and improving the agricultural income of Beninese economic actors. The program targets three specific objectives: strengthening local economic actors, promoting trade, especially with Nigeria, and increasing local market engagement. Despite existing cross-border transactions between Benin and Nigeria, largely in the informal sector, the opportunities remain underexploited. The ACMA program, implemented by an international consortium, focuses on key products and employs a supply and demand approach, emphasizing the creation of legal frameworks and a local government strategy. The program strives to address challenges faced by producers, processors, and traders, fostering a dynamic commercial-scale relationship with Nigeria. The implementation strategy includes mobilizing economic actors through Agricultural Business Clusters (ABCs), improving competitiveness, facilitating financing, and managing market infrastructures. | |
