The global fertilizer market size was estimated at USD 202.20 billion in 2023 and is expected to be worth around USD 276.92 billion by 2034. In West Africa, fertilizer demand represents a $2.1bn market, with 3.5m tons in 2022, sold at an average of $600 per ton. In Benin, it represents a $125 million market with a projected increase of up to 20% by 2030, (Trading Economics, 2023).
The fertilizer market in Benin is growing strongly, with an estimated demand of more than 855,950 tons in 2022, increasing by 11% in 2023. However, only 334,720 tons of chemical fertilizers are imported, which is less than 40% of the total demand. Organic fertilizers, while sustainable, remain underrepresented, covering less than 3% of national demand, (DSA, Benin). Local demand in Pobè is high, reaching 35,000 tons per year, but much remains unmet due to high costs, poor quality, and limited access. BIO PLANET TMC Ltd plans to cover up to 30% of the local market, i.e. a production of 10,500 tons per year by 2030, before expanding further to reach other West African countries.
