Improving the Quality Competitiveness of Domestic Rice Relative to Imports: Experimental Evidence From Benin

Agricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous research has shown that increasing food and nutrition sovereignty in sub‐Saharan Africa through rice requires investment in quality upgrading to help domestic rice compete with rapidly increasing imports. To increase the quality competitiveness of African rice relative to imports, enhancing processing quality is essential.

Genetic structure of Anopheles gambiae s.s populations following the use of insecticides on several consecutive years in southern Benin

Tropical Medicine and Health, 2019
Background Several studies have reported the strong resistance of Anopheles gambiae s.l. complex species to pyrethroids. The voltage-dependent sodium channel (Vgsc) gene is the main target of pyrethroids and DDT.

Evidence for perennial malaria in rural and urban areas under the Sudanian climate of Kandi, Northeastern Benin

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background In arid settings, droughts usually lead to periods of very low or no malaria transmission. However, in rural Kandi (Sonsoro) in northeastern Benin, several malaria cases are often diagnosed during dry seasons. The underlying factors accounting
