We collected data on three (03) storage cost structures from 2019 to 2021. In addition, an interview was conducted with the staff in charge of stock management. We adopted a working methodology based on two approaches, namely the qualitative and the quantitative approach. The simple linear regression method used in this study allowed us to evaluate the determinants of the evolution of the storage cost. At the end of our analysis, we found that as the company's activity increases, the operational and handling costs evolve, leading to the evolution of the storage cost. The regression results also show that the handling and operational costs positively and significantly affect the storage cost. Operational recommendations were made based on the results of our analyses to control these costs in Beninese companies to achieve sustainable development objectives.
