Full textIn order to implement a palm-tree scheme in eastern Cameroon, a development enterprise, the societe camerounaise des palmeraies (so. Ca. Palm), was set up in 1968. Today, its action is extended to 5 areas (mbongo, dibombari, eseka, kienke and edea). Eseka and dibombari areas alone it controls 8 421 ha of improved palm-trees and more than 1 700 employees in industrial palm-groves and 5 154 ha for 1 348 small holders. So. Ca. Palm has achieved a noticeable progress as far as production is concerned but is confronted with problems due to personnel and small holders’ management. These problems are aggravated by the aging of plantations and difficulties in commercializing its products both on national and international markets. If the state cannot efficiently and competently manage with profitability a firm with so. Ca. Palm dimensions, the solution is either privatization or the creation of smaller enterprise, setting up of small structures by which peasants can understand why and for whom they should produce

Full textIndustrial plantations are currently Cameroon’s first private employment sector, and cover huge areas. Drawing on labour and organizational studies as well as political sociology, the thesis shows how much these peculiar spaces, often described as closed enclaves subject to desertification, are constrained by social processes and contribute to State-formation. To this end it gives special attention to material realities, life trajectories and social conflicts. The first part of the thesis is dedicated to a sociological description of the labour force, rank and file of workers but also members of management. It explores the experiences of labouring bodies, the social meanings of money, lifestyles, solidarities and social differentiations in order to portray the wide diversity of workers. It shows that gender (both womanhood and manhood), ethnicity, race, education or land possession are all imported and reshaped inside the plantation. The dissertation questions plantation workers’ trajectories and imaginaries, showing how such a labour force is deeply integrated within a wider whole, the Cameroonian working classes. The second part of the thesis shows how large estates participate in shaping both the Cameroonian territory and the current political order. Understood as organizations that are constantly in the making, these companies are manufactured by evolving spatial constraints, as well as constant labour shortages and conflicts. Plantations must then contend on a daily basis with numerous forms of resistance and contestation to maintain their geographical area and build their labour force. Land and employment issues are core to the making of the peculiar political topographies through which industrial plantations contribute to State formation in Cameroon. In that sense, the thesis suggests that the creative political role plaid by workplaces and labour issues have been underestimated in the study of land grabbing and of contemporary African societies. On a more theoretical level, the thesis, which builds upon a long-run ethnographic immersion in three agro-industrial plants, puts into discussion contributions from sociology and anthropology around labour, working classes, organizations, land and State

Full textThe collapse of the FONADER sponsored partnership between oil palm smallholders and major agro-industries in Cameroon together with the structural adjustment program, the devaluation of the Franc CFA, the economic crises, as well as the fall in the international market price for cocoa and coffee, led to the emergence of independent oil palm producers in the country. These oil palm planters have been grappling with the management of their plantation and the processing of their FFB with the use of artisanal mills. But the numerous difficulties faced by these smallholders are translated into very low yields registered in their plantations. In the light of the recent interest expressed by new agro-industries to invest in the oil palm sector in Cameroon, and the decision by old companies to expand their surface areas, the study notes that in order to mitigate some of the social and environmental crises that result from land conflicts and forest degradation, the most sustainable approach to develop the sector will be to revamp win-win and equitable partnerships between oil palm planters and agro-industries.In Cameroon, four of the seven palm oil production basins carved out during the FONADER partnership scheme where selected for our study sites. They included Eseka in the Center region, Dibombari in the Littoral region, Muyuka and Lobe in the Southwest region. The respective agro-industries were Socapalm, Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC) and Pamol. In Malaysia and Indonesia, the study sites were the FELDA scheme of Besout in the district of Batang Padang, the PIR and KKPA scheme of PT SAL in the district of Bungo, the KKPA scheme of PT Megasawindo and PT Musim Mas in the district of Bungo and Pelalawan respectively. Data collection was organized through the administration of semi-guided questionnaires, secondary data sourcing, personal communication with different stakeholders in the sector, focus group discussions, internet and library search, as well as field observation visits.The study looked at the origine and evolution of partnership schemes between oil palm smallholders and agro-industries, what was right, what went wrong in the course of time, and why most partnerships collapsed. The study further looked at the strengths and weaknesses of today's independent oil palm smallholders and the reasons why these smallholders prefer to process their FFB in artisanal mills despite the presence of agro-industrial mills at the vicinity of their plantations. The study further drew inspiration on the positive and negative experiences of major schemes in Malaysia and Indonesia which have boosted production in their oil palm sector through case studies as well as through a participatory prospective analysis workshop in Cameroon on the future of the palm oil sector, as a way to generate policy recommendation on the way forward for future partnership schemes between oil palm smallholders and agro-industries in Cameroon.Keywords: Partnership, FONADER, FELDA, PIR, KKPA, agro-industry, smallholder, outgrower schemes

Full textCameroon experienced a rapid growth in the domain of plantation economy in Africa during the period of colonisation. To assure the development of plantations in Cameroon, France as well as Germany used hard measures to force workers to work on these plantations. Plantations have been a catalyst of changes occurred within the Cameroonian societies during the colonial period. Thus, this study based on plantation economy in Cameroon under the French administration reveals the factors of ' modernity" and change that took place in the Cameroonian society during the period of colonisation. This research has equally brought out the divergences of situations and regional reactions

Full textThe North Cameroon like all arid and semi-arid zones of African sub-Saharan is facing desertification caused by climatic factors and over exploitation of natural resources.One of the consequences is the decline of crop yields due to degradation of arable land. In this situation, promotion of multipurpose trees plantations can improve the farmers’ livelihood. The introduction of A. senegal in the 90’s in agricultural farms had the aim to restore soil fertility and diversify sources of income for farmers through the production of arabic gum. Despite the multifunction aspect of this tree and the involvement of different development projects for its extension, the results and reactions of local people to its plantation remain inconclusive and selective. The thesis identifies and analyzes the socio-economic factors and their effects on the farmers decision to plant A. senegal. The method is based on surveys and semi-structured interviews. The results show that the best gum yield observed on the exploitation is 50 kg / ha / year. However, the revenue can be increased with the sale of byproducts of A. senegal. Not all farmers are sufficiently informed or trained. A platform for dialogue is to be set in order to redefine the roles of stakeholders in the market chain. For the sustainable management of A. senegal plantations, development projects and policy makers need to meet the standards of gum price differentiation

Full textThe recent cash crops’ crisis tends to accelerate social and economic changes in bamileke's and beti's cocoa and coffee small-holdings : a large number of planters have adopted defensive behaviors such as agricultural diversification, look for more secure activities, or rentier investments. In 1993 hope for an economical recovery was still in the minds, in spite of financial and political problems. So that very few planters were willing to cut their cocoa or coffee trees. However, it seems clear that adjustment policies planned by the world and the IMF have had some dramatic consequences on farming systems: reorganization of parastatals societies, disappearance of financial subsidies, of the marketing boards, and of the "prix minimum garanti". Consequently, as regards to the macro-economical situation, one can wonder if export crops' economy will survive in the next few years. The changing role played by cocoa or coffee in modeling each precolonial and present society is also discussed. The new behaviors - or those that seem new - are closely related to the collective and permanent ways of thinking. Do these societies have the ability to face such a complex crisis? Are they enough flexible to improve social change?

Full textIn order to better understand the strategies used by farmers in chemical weed control and with the aim of comparing the economic returns of direct sowing and herbicide application with tillage, a research was conducted in two benchmark villages (Mafa Kilda and Pandjama) in North Cameroon. Comprehensive approach was adopted in order to better understand farmers practically minded. Farmer’s social representations of their profession about direct sowing with herbicides and till practice have been analysis. An analysis concerned the reasons for adoption of direct sowing and herbicide use by farmers, and farmer’s perception of the health and environmental risks. A follow-up technico-economic study of the two farming system was undertaken. The factorial correspondence analysis was used to analyse the typology of farms. Economical analysis was employed. Results show that with direct sowing 0. 7 man-days/ha and 1. 6 man-days/ha are required to establish crops in the field whereas with regular tillage 4 to 5 man-days/ha are required. This gain in time with direct sowing can vary between 60 to 80% depending on the crop. The productivity and revenue from farms under direct sowing and herbicide application are higher compared with tillage. For cotton, maize and groundnut cultivation, the application of a medium dosage of herbicide combined with early weeding using animal traction, can permit to have acceptable profit margin with direct sowing and herbicide application. Due to social and cultural capital differences, 94 % of farmers at Pandjama were aware of the potential health and environmental hazards related to heavy use of herbicides, compared to 70 % at Mafa Kilda

Full textIn southern Cameroon, oil palm "smallholdings" contribute to rural development and meeting national oil and fat requirements for human consumption and soapmaking. From 1978 to 1991, 13,000 ha of selected oil palm smallholdings were set up with technical and financial support from a project. Selected oil palm smallholdings then trebled and now occupy around 40,000 ha. The latter plantations, set up without supervision or financial backing, display widely varying practices, raising two questions: the agronomic value of smallholdings and adaptation of standard technical advice. This work took a dual agronomic approach. Firstly a regional agronomic diagnosis to identify yield-limiting factors and practices from which they arose, in order to trace plot evolution patterns. Secondly a comprehensive analysis of field make-up, tracing back planting conditions in each plot and repositioning farms in their supply region. A new limiting factor specific to oil palm smallholdings was found: nitrogen nutrition in mature palms. A spatial and temporal analysis of field make-up helped to explain the variability in practices, enabling links to be made between planting conditions, juvenile palm management and mature plot characteristics. Technical advice was revised to adapt it to the new situations in plots, on farms and in the supply chain environment

Full textThe study of the cocoaplanters'behaviour in Cameroon during a period of economic instability and unruliness sets at once the following question : is there still a future for the cocoa plantation ? This study attemps to answer the urgent problems of national policy. Indeed, cocoa -which represents 15% of export profits- is one of the most important commodity for economic take-off in Cameroon. Following interviews with farmers about their decisions just before and after the devaluation of the fcfa, we tried to surround the agronomical and social vulnerabilities which are characteristic of various cocoa production systems, in order to appreciate how much the instability coming from outside (price variability, access to credit, changes in agricultural policy) can affect those farmers and to come to the real conditions of decision taking of the planter. Based on decision making criteria towards risk and uncertainty, gleaned from the empirical study, a linear programming model was developed in order to test the logics of agricultural supply under different constraints and macro-economic management interventions. The uncertain factors as they are considered in the model, are not only a constraint, but limit the amount of the knowledge that is possible to have of the future and also influence on the ratio between consumption and saving. Over the whole set of simulations, decision making risk seems to be a strong factor in discouraging investment since, due to price instability, the possible gains achieved by taking risks are questionable from one year to another. Conscious of such uncertain events, the cocoa planter will tend to economize -precaution savings- in order to survive through periods of low price and low yields

Full textDue to the reduction of the natural forests at the regional and international level, the plantations of trees became necessary to satisfy the request growth in forest products. The objective of this research is to identify the factors which can encourage the peasants and the local authorities to plant trees producing timber and wood for craft industry. The following general assumption guided this research: the access to information (for the actors), the fluidity and the legality of the market, the secure land right and the presence of financings (private or public), can favor the development of forest plantation. Data were collected in four areas of the West region (Foumban, Bayangam, Tonga and Nkong-Ni) and in one area of the Center region (Bafia). Our methodology is based on field visits, inquiries and surveys. The results show that factors influencing the plantation of timber trees are: a secure land right, the duration of tree growth, the existence of a market. For species as eucalyptus for which there exists a well structured market, the surface of plantations are increasing and the incomes resulting from timber contribute to household’s livelihoods. But on the other hand, the plantations of teak and pine for which there does not exist market are declining. The plantation of these two species is to be promoted to cover the great local demand for craft industry wood. The plantations of Kosipo and Podocarpus in the quickset hedges is to be encouraged to the peasants who wish to plant the trees but do not have enough land to create large plantations. Due to opportunities offers by the Clean Development Mechanism through the financing of afforestation, two councils of the West region (Tonga and Foumban) created communal plantations. The implication of the bordering populations in the choice of the sites and the plantation operations at the present time seems to be a pledge of their good management and their respect
