摘要：

Logistics performance is impacted by several factors such as infrastructures and forth. Many scholars tend to emphasize quantitative factors such as transports, location factors, exchanges rate, labor rates and taxes. It is known that the assessment of logistics performance is a vital function for any organization, firm or society. Several researches have been elaborate about the Port of Cotonou in a vain attempt to reinforce national or regional economy. In this paper, the authors propose a framework that includes qualitative factors concerning logistics. These factors will be analyzed by calculating data collected from Benin and other reputable sources such as ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) and the World Bank. The authers findings show that even though Benins port has high potentialities, the strategy of logistics management needs to be improved and especially reconsidered by taking into account certain variables in our framework.
