Synopsis

Agricultural advice has always been the weak link of Agriculture in Côte
d'Ivoire. Since colonial limes, actions Agricultural Advisory conducted with farmers
have almost ail ended in failure, especially in cocoa where yields have remained very
low and the living conditions of farmers remain precarious. Thus, the prospects for a
sustainable cocoa are seriously put into causes.
This study raises the question of the impact of recent innovations introduced in
cocoa cultivation sector in Côte d'Ivoire, prey to various threats. In recent years, several
cocoa regeneration projects have bcen initiated to deal with these threats. The study
therefore aimed to assess the impact of various projects initiated by the Agricultural
Advisory Board Café-Cacao through FIRCA, for cocoa farmers in the Program
Quantity, Quality, Growth (2QG). Thus, the study attempt to measure the Jevel of
adoption of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and the impact on productivity of cocoa
and the living conditions of farmers. She plans to understand and explain the
motivations that guide the adoption of GAP or persistence of Traditional Cultural
Practices (TCP).
To do this, she enrolled in a Knowledge approach, Attitudes, Practices (KAP) to
characterize and quantify the diffusion and adoption of GAP implemented at farm Jevel
in different production areas in Côte d'Ivoire. Three complementary theories (diffusion
theory, Mode! Acceptance of Technology and theory of behaviour change) were
mobilized to guide data analysis.
Complementarity between the sociological and agronomie approach has lead to
the results. These ones results show that the adoption is difficult and selective with
respect to several constraints, including economic and social, faced by fanners. The
desired impact in tenns of productivity and living conditions of farmers remains
invisible.
