Abstract: This paper aims to analyze the competitiveness of rice of a peasant organization on the market of Glazoué. By using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) method, results show that the production of rice is an economically and financially profitable activity. This activity has a comparative advantage to compete with imported rice because the Cost of Domestic Resource (CDR) of the rice production is less than the unit. The transformation of the parboiled rice and white rice is an activity also financially and economically profitable. The parboiled rice has a comparative advantage to compete with imported rice, but the parboiled rice is more competitive than the white rice. For a better competitiveness of rice production and the UNIRIZ_C in a perspective of economy diversification, the development of dregs and Irrigation should be the priority of the policy makers in order to increase national productivity, to meet the local demand and to ensure food security in Benin.
