Abstrakt:	We investigate the effects of COVID-19 containment measures on the revenues of women in agribusiness in Benin, a low-income country in West Africa, using a fixed effect model and unique data from 214 women selected using the simple random sampling technique. Our results indicate that COVID-19 containment measures substantially decreased women's revenues from agribusiness activities, irrespective of the product. These findings suggest that policies aiming to alleviate the health crisis must be considered in a comprehensive framework and include financial protections to mitigate the economic costs.
