USADF's Benin Program:
USADF established its Benin program in 1986. The current Portfolio of seven active investment projects focuses on the agricultural sector, providing support to food producers and processors and totals nearly $1.15 million. For more information please visit Benin's quick source page.


The Cooperative The Cooperative Pharmaceutique et Technique (CPT), a registered pharmacy in Cotonou, produces quality and affordable medicine.  CPT developed a children’s cough medicine, Sirop Armand, which sells well in the regional market.  With USADF funding, CPT has constructed a new production facility for its medicine, allowing it to double its production of Sirop Armond.  CPT employed 7 people at the beginning of the project, but thanks to 400% increase in annual revenues, it now employs 21 workers.
