Effets de la politique de réglementation de la vente du soja sur les performances des producteurs au Bénin : Entre stabilisation et incitations à l’investissement

This study analyses the effects of the policy regulating soybean sales on producer performance in Benin from 1990 to 2023, focusing on production supply and net farm income. Through an econometric analysis of time-series data, the results reveal a positive and statistically significant effect of this policy on both the supply and income of producers. Unexpectedly, the study highlights a positive correlation between rising current production costs and increased supply and income, suggesting that investments in higher-quality inputs and technologies, even if costly, can drive producer performance. These complex dynamics underscore the need for regular policy adjustments to balance market stabilisation, producer protection, and the promotion of sustainable productive investments.
