About

The National Union of Soybean Producers (UNPS) of Benin is the national umbrella organization of a vast network of cooperatives/groups of soybean producers in Benin. It is the main component and outcome of the soybean farmers' movement in Benin with a decentralized national coverage.

The UNPS-Benin covers all the agro-ecological zones favorable to soybean cultivation in Benin. Nowadays, it carries out its actions in seven (07) departments (Zou-Collines, Atacora-Donga, Borgou-Alibori and Couffo) through thirty-two (32) communes.

It has twenty-three thousand seven hundred and thirty (23,730) individual producers, including nine thousand four hundred and ninety-two (9,492) women and four thousand seven hundred and forty-six (4,746) young people divided into 240 cooperatives and 168 groups. The cooperatives and groups are village-level structures (Village Soybean Producers' Cooperatives) that are members of the Unions Communales des Producteurs de Soja (UCPS), which in turn are members of the Unions Départementales des Producteurs de Soja (UDPS), which in turn are members of the UNPS. This pyramid-like structure is the strength of the network.

Created in January 2010, the UNPS was officially registered on May 23, 2011 under the 2011 N° 6/046/P-SG-STCCD-DCDI-ASSOC and published in the Journal Officiel (JO) in the Republic of Benin on June 15, 2011. Its Unique Fiscal Identifier (IFU) N° 6201710073708.

In terms of networking, the UNPS is a member of the Federation of Producers' Unions of Benin (FUPRO-Benin) and therefore of the National Platform of Peasant Organizations and Agricultural Producers of Benin (PNOPPA-Benin).
