OUR STRENGTHS

On the geo-strategic level

THE PSP is located at
- 325Km from Gaya (Benin-Niger border) compared to 760Km for Cotonou-Gaya
- ⁠321 km from Porga (Benin-Burkina-Faso border) compared to 600 km for Cotonou-Porga
- ⁠22km from the Northern Nigeria border compared to 457km for Cotonou-North Nigeria

On the political plan

Political stability in the Republic of Benin since the democratic renewal, the security situation despite the threats in the West African zone added to the long history of the country as a commercial transit country for the countries of the hinterland via the city of Parakou, give the PSP a trustworthy status.

On the technical side

A loading/unloading area of 0.8 hectares
An operating area of 0.8 hectares
A 4-hectare heavy goods vehicle parking area
Fire protection system
Rail and road connection

On the sociological level

Added to this is a major sociological advantage: Parakou is a city with cultural, religious and linguistic similarities with all these Hinterland countries with almost identical culinary and housing practices and the use of common languages such as Peulh, Yoruba, Hausa, Dendi, Zerma and Bariba.

All of the above demonstrates that the PSP is a force for the economy of Benin as well as countries like Niger, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Mali and Chad.
