“Pain de Sucre variety is not yet popular in European markets”
The Association of Pineapple Exporters of Benin renewed its governing bodies at the end of December, electing Choubiyi Edouard president. According to Choubiyi, “Only a tiny fraction of Benin’s pineapple production is currently exported, and we need to step up our efforts.”
The Association, which brings together twenty pineapple exporters, has designated increasing export volumes its top priority. While national production exceeds 400,000 tonnes (INSAE Benin, 2020), only 3,000 tonnes are exported yearly on average according to Choubiyi. The industry relies on a single market, France, which accounts for 85% of exports.
