  • Résumé
  • Background
    In West and Central Africa, cotton production is of socio-economic importance by involving millions of people in rural areas and bringing hard currencies to the related country. Such an outcome has resulted, partly, from the backstopping by national, bilateral and multilateral development funding organizations for decades. Information nevertheless lacks on the impacts of the procured aids, related or not to technology transfer, in terms of the socio-economic status of the cotton farms by lack of application of a device to assess and follow-up what these features are.
    The objective of this communication is to draw out a typology of cotton farms in Cote d'Ivoire to compensate for the mentioned lack in view of guiding actions and assessing their impacts.
    Results
    Through the data of a study implemented in 2014, a typology was based on the single criterion of cattle possession in relation with the tradition of hoarding. This typology clearly differentiates four types of farms according to their technical and financial performance in cotton growing, the characteristics of farmers and that of their families as well as their well-being through the possession of some durable goods.
    Conclusion
    The proposed typology is adapted, simple for application and flexible for evolution. It could fit all cotton-producing countries of West and Central Africa where the same tradition of accumulating capital in hoarding remains and it would allow country comparison to assess distinct cotton policies.
