Introduction to Dattori, Benin
Datori is a city in the Republic of Benin, a West African country located in the hilly central part of the country. As an important town in the Borgou Department, Datori has a predominantly agrarian economy, with cotton, maize and cassava widely grown in the surrounding area, and is a distribution center for local agricultural products.
Geographic and demographic characteristics
Dattori is located in the Savanou climate zone of northern Benin, with distinct wet and dry seasons and a predominantly savannah vegetation. The city has a population of about 30,000-50,000, with the Bariba as the main inhabitants, preserving the traditional chieftaincy system and a rich ethnic culture, such as masked dances and hand-weaving techniques.
Transportation and Economy
Dattori is connected to the border between Parakou and Niger by the national highway RNIE 2, and is one of the nodes of cross-border trade in northern Benin. In recent years, the area has gradually developed livestock farming and small-scale agro-processing industries, but infrastructure remains weak and it is a priority area for the Beninese government's rural revitalization program.
Cultural and Tourism Highlights
Visitors can explore the weekly open-air market in Dattori and experience the traditional life of the Bariba people; the surrounding villages have well-preserved mud mosques and ceremonial sites, reflecting the religious fusion that characterizes Benin's interior. The annual tribal celebrations held during the dry season are an important window into the local culture.
