Abstract

[fre] L'analyse des problèmes de financement des cultures vivrières montre que ces cultures sont financées par quatre sources de financement principales : l'épargne de l'exploitant, le crédit, les produits de l'exploitation et les dons. Les dépenses d'investissement sont surtout financées par l'épargne pour environ 58,5% du montant total. Les analyses montrent également que l'agriculture vivrière repose sur l'autofinancement assuré par les exploitants, et le crédit informel comme principales sources de fonds extérieurs. La solidarité continue toutefois de jouer un rôle important à travers des dons, notamment pour les jeunes agriculteurs. La mise en place d'un système bâti sur des coopératives d'épargne et de crédit légères paraît être la meilleure approche pour assurer les financements à court et moyen termes, mais l'Etat devra encore intervenir pour assurer la disponibilité des capitaux à long terme. [eng] An analysis of financing problems facing the food crop sector has revealed that it is financed by four major sources namely: farmers' savings, loans, farm revenues and gifts. Investment expenses are financed mostly by savings for approximately 58,5% of the total amount. It has also appeared that farmers rely mostly either on autofinancing or on credit from informal sources. Solidarity continues to play an important role through gifts especially for young farmers. From these analysis, it seems that the best approach to solving financing problems for agriculture is to built a network of small size savings and loan cooperqtives. They can satisfy the needs for short term or even medium term funds, but the State will have to intervene for long term fundings.
