Abstract

Meat is a precious, highly perishable commodity, and its hygienic quality must be a priority. The aim of this study is to assess the sales channels and means of transport for imported frozen poultry meat in Benin. Actors in the distribution chain were surveyed in the communes of Cotonou, Abomey-Calavi, Porto-Novo, Lokossa, Aplahoué, Pobè, and Bohicon. A total of 17 importers, 18 wholesalers, 71 retailers, and 40 consumers were interviewed by questionnaire. Importers were predominantly male (65%), university graduates (65%), and economic operators (53%). The study identified three groups of meat distributors: Group 1 is made up of primary and uneducated distributors, who use cabs and motorcycles to transport meat; Group 2 is made up of secondary and primary school students, who use nonrefrigerated vehicles; and Group 3 is made up of secondary and tertiary school vendors, who use refrigerated trucks. Voluntary and involuntary power cuts on the one hand, and packaging problems on the other, lead to storage problems for these meats, resulting in putrefied meat. In addition, 62.5% and 11.7% of importers reexport meat to Nigeria and Niger, respectively, without respecting the cold chain. Analysis of the distribution chain revealed that improper handling of these frozen meats exposes them to bacterial contamination.

贝宁进口冷冻禽肉销售渠道及运输设备卫生质量评价
肉类是一种珍贵的、极易腐烂的商品,其卫生质量必须放在首位。本研究的目的是评估贝宁进口冷冻禽肉的销售渠道和运输方式。在科托努、阿波梅-卡拉维、波尔图-诺沃、洛萨、阿普拉豪斯、Pobè和波希肯等社区对分销链中的参与者进行了调查。共访问了17家进口商、18家批发商、71家零售商和40名消费者。进口商主要是男性(65%)、大学毕业生(65%)和经济经营者(53%)。该研究确定了三类肉类经销商:第一类由初级和未受过教育的经销商组成,他们使用出租车和摩托车运输肉类;第2组由使用非冷藏车辆的中小学生组成;第三组由中学和大学的小贩组成,他们使用冷藏车。一方面是自愿和非自愿的停电,另一方面是包装问题,导致这些肉类的储存问题,导致肉类腐烂。此外,62.5%和11.7%的进口商分别将肉类再出口到尼日利亚和尼日尔,而不考虑冷链。对分销链的分析显示,这些冷冻肉类处理不当会使它们受到细菌污染。
