Abstract

Born in 1987, the National Pig Producers Association (N.P.P.A.) today is a registered cooperative. This paper gives an idea of the evolution of the growth of this association through four main activities which are: feed sales, production, technical advice, and branch meetings. These activities are exclusively oriented towards production for the local market. This paper also explains how the N.P.P.A. could develop with the help of the Training, Research, Extension and Development Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture (TREDU). TREDU's involvement has been so heavy that it may have to learn now how to free itself from that situation. Pig production can be profitable in Dominica provided the pig producers follow a set of technical recommendations. But this production remains risky if done otherwise in the Dominican conditions. ----- La Dominique a principalement ba:ié son développement sur la production bananière qui represente en moyene 70ï. des recettes d'exportations chaque année. Nous savons aujourd'hui que "les trois soeurs" (Del Monte, United Brandt, Castle & Cook) sont capables de produire des bananes de qualité~ un coOt tierce des bananes de la Caraibe. Elles possèdent donc un moyen de pression colossal puisq' elles peuvent facilement diminuer leurs prix. Il est donc plus que probable qu'une diminution du prix de la banane voit le jour dans les années qui viennent. La diversification agricole représente alors un enjeu considerable puisqu' il s'agit de la sécurité du producteur. Cet article prés en tE, d'abord comment s'est opéré la croissance et l'organizatlon du groupe de producteur de porc en coopérative nationale avec pour objectif de couv·rir le marche local en viande porc. Puis cet article s'attache à analyser les problèmes majeurs d'ordre sociaux et economiques recontrés.
