Abstract

[fre] La fixation du prix de l'arachide reste, pour le Sénégal, une importante variable de politique économique, compte tenu de son impact sur les recettes budgétaires, sur les recettes d'exportation et l'équilibre ville/campagne. Une fixation rationnelle des prix au producteur doit tenir compte de la réaction des producteurs, synthétisées par des élasticités prix à court et long terme de l'offre d'arachide. La modélisation économétrique montre que ces réactions n'ont pratiquement pas été prises en compte dans le cadre du Sénégal, et que l'Etat a surtout cherché une fixation des prix à un niveau très bas maximisant ses revenus immédiats au détriment des recettes budgétaires futures, des recettes d'exportation et du monde rural. [eng] Agricultural pricing policy. And primary producer's behavior :. The case of Senegal. Jean-Claude Nascimento, Marc Raffinot. Agricultural pricing policy in Senegal remains an important part of economic policy, because of the importance of groundnut oil in exportations, public revenue and peasant revenue. A rationale pricing policy has to take account of supply's price elasticity of groundnut producers, namely of their short and long term price elasticities. The results of an econometrical investigation show that the responsiveness of groundnut producers has been neglected, and that groundnut prices have been fixed as low as posible to maximise immediate public revenue, at the expense of export and peasant revenue.
