There are also a production of the Textile S, products of palm, and Cacao. The Corn, the Bean S, the Rice, the Groundnut S, the cashew trees, the Pineapple, the Manioc, the Yam S of China, and other various Tubercule S is cultivated for the local subsistence.

A flotilla of modest fishing provides fish and shrimp for the local subsistence and export to Europe. Formerly owners marketing activities of the State are now privatisées. A French brewer acquired the old brewery managed by the State. Moreover small companies into private are had by citizens of the Benign one, but some companies are of foreign origin, mainly French E and Libanais E. The commercial and agricultural sectors private remain principal contributing to the growth.

Economic development

Since the transition towards a democratic Government in 1990, the Benign one underwent an economic re-establishment. A great injection of external investment of the private and public sources reduced the economic difficulties of beginning of the year 90 caused by total recession and raw material course constantly low (although the last continues to affect the economy). The sector of manufacture is confined with a certain light industry, which is mainly implied by treating the basic commodities and the production of the consumer goods. A common hydroelectric project envisaged with the close Togo is designed to reduce the dependence of Benign to légard the imported energy most of the time of Ghana, which currently counts for a significant proportion of the imports from the country. The sector of service developed quickly, stimulated by economic liberalization and tax reform. The adhesion of the zone of CFA franc offers reasonable stability as well as the access to the French economic support. The Benign one sells its products mainly in France and, in more minor amount, with the Netherlands, the Korea, the Japan, and the India. France is the independent source of Benign for imports. The Benign one is also a member of the Western African economic community CEAO.

In spite of its rapid growth, the economy of Benign remains always underdeveloped and a dependant on the agriculture of subsistence, the production of cotton, and the regional trade. The growth of the true output made the average of 5% since 1996, but a fast rise in the population has excentré much this growth on a basis per head. Inflation with the surplus dropped during the past. The activities of advertizing film and transport, composing most of the GDP, are vulnerable to the developments with the Nigeria, in particular the lack of fuel.
