a cross perspective on the rice sector in the municipality of Tillabéry strengths and weaknesses of urbaine and periurbaine agriculture

Abstract

This research work aims to contribute to the knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of the rice sector in the municipality of Tillabéry. The study concerned the perimeters of Toula, Bossa, Neiri, Yalwani Goungou, Garyé, and Finari. It was carried out after a survey which took place between October 2018 and November 2019 and which was carried out with 32 producers. The research hypothesis is to consider rice cultivation as an income-generating activity for those involved. The results of the study made it possible to make a correlation between the type of varieties, mastery of the technical route, soil quality, and yield. These results showed the contribution of rice cultivation to the incomes of Tillabéry producers. They reveal the observation that this activity has costs that require State intervention in order to provide substantial aid to producers.
