Ministerial Interview: Benin's Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries

We recently had the privilege of sitting down with Mr Gaston Cossi Dossouhoui, Benin's Minister of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, to discuss the nation’s efforts in restoring shea parklands. He expressed that "Preserving shea parklands goes beyond environmental conservation, it's about empowering our communities and driving progress."
The government's ongoing initiatives focus not only on protecting this national treasure but on creating economic opportunities that enhance the quality of life for local communities. Their dedication to a holistic approach ensures that sustainability and community upliftment go hand in hand.
