Abstract

[fre] Confronté depuis les années 1970 à la croissance démographique et plus particulièrement à celle de la population urbaine, le Cameroun tente depuis quinze ans, par différentes politiques agricoles, de résoudre le problème du déséquilibre constaté naguère entre cultures de rente et cultures vivrières. Parmi les différentes mesures adoptées figurait une intervention des pouvoirs publics dans la commercialisation des produits vivriers. La présente étude tente d'analyser les résultats de cette politique et au-delà, montre les limites de l'intervention de l'Etat dans une économie certes pauvre, mais où le secteur privé connaît un certain dynamisme. [eng] Facing ever since the early 70's the steady population growth and specifically the rapid expansion of the urban population, Cameroun has, over the past decade, been striving through various agricultural policies to resolve the evident imbalance between cash crops and food crops. Among different measures, the government intervened directly in the commercialisation of food crops. This study attemps to analyze the results of this policy and eventually demonstrates how is the governmental intervention limited within an economy which is certainly poor but where the private sector has proved its dynamism.
