Y. Jacqueline Kotoko is a wholesale specialist in yams purchased from growers in her village. Her store is located inside the Dantokpa market, where she sells her goods, and where she also builds up her inventory during periods of abundance. But this requires a lot of funds that she cannot generate herself. In Cotonou, selling yams is a very worthwhile business because yams are a staple food. Her husband is a health department representative who does not earn enough, and family expenses demand much of her. So she has to have more resources to meet customer demand and to help with family expenses. She was born on June 3, 1977, is married, and has a child.

Nous sommes en plein dans la saison des tubercules d'igname. Je m'approvisionne sans difficultés et ceci à des coûts moindre. La distribution est assez aisée par ces temps où le maïs et le riz qui sont les premières denrées alimentaires de premier rang au BENIN coûtent chers. J'ai augmenter mon stock et mes clients sont devenus plus nombreux.
