Abstract

– This work uses an original dataset for 255 cotton farmers in the marginal cotton production areas of Côte d’Ivoire and focuses on the liberalization of agricultural extension services. We estimate the effect of private vs public agricultural extension service on the cotton production of farmers. We highlight the consequences of the intrusion of private extension services in this area devoted to the state agency. We use both ordinary least squares (OLS) and matching procedures. The results suggest that privatization favors production in this area. Résumé – Ce travail s’appuie sur une base de données originale comprenant 255 producteurs de coton de la zone de production marginale de Côte d’Ivoire. Il s’agit de mettre en évidence l’effet sur la productivité de l’incursion des opérateurs privés dans cette zone étatique. Pour atteindre ce but, nous appliquons la régression par moindres carrés ordinaires (MCO) et la méthode d’appariement. Les résultats des travaux suggèrent que la privatisation est favorable à la hausse de la production dans cette zone.
