Togo and Benin to Soon Hold First Joint Annual Meeting on Entrepreneurship and Trade

(Togo First) - Togo and Benin’s Chambers of Commerce and Industry will soon host their first annual meeting on entrepreneurship and trade. The roundtable falls under the Regional Program for the Integration of Agricultural Markets (PRIMA). 

In preparation for the meeting, whose date is yet to be disclosed, a delegation from CCI-Benin was in Lomé from September 9 to 14. The delegation met with CCI-Togo executives, including the chamber’s boss, José Kwassi Symenouh. The two sides discussed common challenges in agriculture and the opportunities PRIMA offers for regional integration and entrepreneurship. Talks focused on financing for agricultural players, tax incentives, and implementing entrepreneurial projects in both countries.

The recent preparatory mission laid "the foundations for the success of the first annual meeting between the two Chambers of Commerce". Thus, the upcoming meeting will "strengthen regional cooperation and the development of agricultural markets along the two countries' cross-border corridors".

This joint initiative is supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and comes amidst strong trade between Togo and Benin, at the formal and informal levels.
