The Savalou Center is located at Kpakpassa, in the Zou region in the center of Benin. The center boasts a surface area of 210 hectares and possesses the possibility of expansion. This new Songhai site has been receiving Beninise agro-biology students since January 1999.

• Plant production through large-scale farming using agricultural machinery, ox-driven plowing, and irrigation. Products include maize, peanuts, soybeans, cassava, "niébé", yam, fruit trees (mostly oil palm, mango, papaya and coconut), market gardening, and tree cultivation (including trees whose biomass contributes to soil fertilization such as cajanus-cajan, leuceana, moukouna, moringa oleifera).
  
• Production of a variety of animal species: pigs, cattle, grasscutters (African giant bushrat), turkeys, Rhode Island Red chickens, laying hens, guinea fowls, etc.).
  
• Agricultural processing to add value to the products and create new production opportunities.
  
• Maintenance and repair of the farm's vehicles and agricultural tools through the installation of a mechanic workshop.
  
  

Infrastructure:
-A water tower for irrigating crops during the dry season.
-A large-scale plant production using agricultural machinery (mostly maize, peanuts, soybeans, cassava, yam, and fruit trees).
- Market gardening during the dry season.
- Various animal species (mammals, poultry, etc.).
- Processing of agricultural products.

The opportunities offered by the Savalou Center assure it a promising future within the Songhai movement. The effective use of the large portions of available land is capable of adding a real momentum to agricultural production.

Savalou Songhai consists of three separate locations with a total surface area of 214 ha, distributed as follows:
KPAKPASSA, 123 ha located 13 km from Savalou
AMANZON, 65 ha at 4 km further to the south-west of Kpakpassa
ZOUNGUEME, 26 ha at 5 km to the south west-of Kpakpassa.

Songhai-SAVALOU also possesses the following characteristics:
• The fifth class of student farmers in training.
  
• Mastery of the different stages of space utilization.
  
• Mastery of the technology of geo-concrete construction.
  
• The installation of a plumbing system of potable water within a rural context.
  
• The installation of an urban-style electrical system.
  
• The construction of a hydraulic dam and the development of dry season plant production via water storage.
  
• The establishment of a "hydrogen bank" which encourages the fertilization and regeneration of the soil through the planting of fast-growing leguminous species (leucaena, acacia, and Angola peas).
  
• The existence of a retail outlet in the town's center for the sale of the farm's products.
  
• The creation of a community center for communication, offering office and computer services, thereby allowing the village population access to new communication and information technologies.
  
• A digital system of radio communication (telephone, fax, file transfer) that links Savalou to the other sites.
