Abstract

This research examines the factors that determine the adhesion of rice farmers to agricultural cooperatives in the Noun department. The survey was conducted among 72 rice farmers distributed in the districts of Koutaba and Bangourain . The results show that rice farming is mainly practiced by men (63.89%), members of cooperatives (83.3%), with a low level of education (primary level, 72.2%), on plots with an average area of 1.57 ha, located at an average distance of 3.19 km from households. The analysis of the logistic regression model reveals that factors such as the age of the producer, group sales, access to extension services, gender, level of education, land ownership, and group purchasing positively influence adhesion to cooperatives. On the other hand, the cultivated area, yield, and number of years of experience negatively impact this adhesion.
