Abstract

At a time when agricultural entrepreneurship is increasingly recognized as a crucial alternative to unemployment and underemployment, particularly in developing countries, it is becoming imperative to have baseline or reference information on entry into the agricultural entrepreneurship sector. This article gives an overview of the integration of 1,305 agricultural bachelor degree holders into agricultural entrepreneurship in Benin. These bachelors studied and graduated in the bachelor-master-doctorate program (labeled LMD program) of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Abomey-Calavi (FSA/UAC) between 2011 and 2020. Data related to the occupational integration of this target population were collected with the help of online surveys. These data were statistically analyzed using Excel v.2019 and STATA v.15. Results reveal an overall integration rate of 16.17%, with significant variations ranging from 6% to 27% from one year to the next. Gender disparities are also notable, with only 29.52% of target bachelors entering agricultural entrepreneurship as women.
