WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP IN BENIN: THE IRRESISTIBLE RISE OF MARCOS BERTILLE GUEDEGBE

05 Feb 2020 - 00:00:00
ANOTHER BENINESE ENTREPRENEUR IN THE WORLD SPOTLIGHT The year 2020, the year of Beninese entrepreneurs, I am tempted to say. Indeed, after Angélique Kidjo, Reckya Madougou… on several channels and in several magazines, it is Mrs. Marcos Guédègbé's turn on Canal + with zoom agro. WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP IN BENIN: THE IRRESISTIBLE RISE OF MARCOS BERTILLE GUEDEGBE With her degree in agricultural engineering, Bertille Marcos is now at the head of a flourishing Beninese company that exports tons of fresh pineapple to Europe. It is also involved in the large-scale production of organic juice. And to see it closely, we can say that the story of this woman entrepreneur is the illustration of an Africa that is moving forward and succeeding. Indeed, between 1987 and 2015, she will take on many responsibilities. Among others, President of the cooperative of pineapple producers, exporters and processors in Benin. Research assistant, Technical advisor for women's groups, Farm management advisor on the CAGEA project. Bertille Marcos is also the founder of the NGO GERME, which deals with training and support-advice for farmers, particularly in the pineapple sector. She also remains the promoter of the industrial fruit juice production unit of the Société anonyme < >. With the ban on the export of pineapples colored with ethephon in December 2016 and the fall of the Naïra, the industry plummeted. But the company emerged unscathed. This, thanks to the management of our model of success. Dame Marcos Bertille will have demonstrated great managerial capacity, a characteristic trait of great leaders through the prompt reorganization of her affiliated structures. Apart from his experience in the field, his relations with the actors and decision-makers (PTF, the State, etc.) in the sector, have undoubtedly helped things. And in August 2017, unexpectedly, the ban was lifted. As a reminder, from the visit in April 2013 of the Minister of Commerce at the time, Me Élise Gbèdo, it appears that “Les Jus Tilou” exported more than 60 tonnes of pineapples per week in high season. 220 private producers are associated with it and 48 employees work there. In August 2017, the Minister of State in charge of Planning and Development, Abdoulaye Bio Tchané, before wishing full success to the Company quotLes Jus Tilouquot during his visit, declared the following: ''I left this integrated production unit of confident pineapple (…), because the seeds will germinate and bear fruit, in order to offer our country several Mrs. Marcos, that is to say enterprising, fighter women, and especially youth and community service. And since we have to give back to Caesar what is Caesar's... the dynamic enterprising woman finds herself today a member of the Board of Directors of Africa Agro Export (AAFEX), of COLEACP with the post of President of the Interprofessional Pineapple Association of Benin (Aiab). The latter has also recently launched the first inclusive platform of the sector which has seen the participation of regional Technical and Financial Partners: Growafrica from Nepad and Idh from Holland. The latter have promised to mobilize a sum of 20 million euros over the next three years for the development of the pineapple sector in Benin. May all Beninese in general, and the actors of the agricultural world, in particular, sing the merits of this fighter. In any case, ZOOM AGRO (agricultural directory) wants to congratulate Bertille Marcos, for her commitment and her determination to raise BENIN to the rank of the major importing countries of pineapple juice, ginger, baobab, and other products. agricultural. And may more live female leadership in BENIN. https://zoomagro.com/index.php/2019/03/06/exporte-vers-leurope-des-tonnes-dananas-frais/
