The objective of the survey is to have present quantitative and qualitative data on the production and the merchandising of Ablo in Benin. The methodology adopted consist to do an investigation of land in some townships of the center (Abomey, Bohicon, Covè) and of the south (Abomey-Calavi, Comè, Cotonou) Benin by the producers and sellers of Ablo. The results of our investigations showed that the production and the sale of Ablo is exclusively an activity feminine, casual, economically profitable and constitute a source of employment. It generates incomes and allows the producers and sellers to face their daily needs including those of their families. The Ablo is prepared mainly from the corn and rice and is consumed alone or accompanied of pimento or frying with fried fish or of the fried meat.
