Roland Riboux is a whole journey between Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In 1996, after Cameroon and Nigeria, the former Crédit Lyonnais executive set foot on Beninese soil and became the CEO of Fludor Benin, a subsidiary of the agri-food holding company TGI, to lead the project to install the group’s oil mill in Cana , 108 km north of Cotonou. The plant went into production in May 2000, the year the Franco-Beninese was made head of the Association of Oilseeds Industry Manufacturers of the countries of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (Aifo-Uemoa). In 2002, he founded the Council of Private Investors in Benin (CIPB), which today brings together more than forty large companies and has contributed, in recent years, to improving the business climate in Benin.
