Abstract:
This research analyzes the constraints linked to cassava cultivation in the district of GoloDjigbé.
The data used for this research are: data on cassava cultivation techniques. They made it possible
to have a perfect knowledge of cultivation techniques; climatological data: these are the monthly
and annual rainfall amounts for the district of Glo-djigbé which were extracted from the database
of the Agency for Air Safety and Navigation in Africa and Madagascar (ASECNA ) over the
period from 1985 to 2015. In addition, the socio-demographic data from 2002 and 2013 with an
estimate in 2025 taken from the INSAE databases which made it possible to determine the
sampling and the socio-anthropological data from the surveys. ground.
The results of this research show that cassava is easy to grow but it is necessary to work the land
well, to loosen it so that the roots develop without obstruction, given the fact that it is often
cultivated with other crops at maturity. faster (corn, okra, peanuts). The climate handicaps
constitute the natural constraints to the cultivation of cassava. Cassava is therefore a crop very
vulnerable to the water deficit of the soil during the three months following its planting. Water
stress at any time during this initial period greatly reduces the growth of roots and young shoots
compromising subsequent development of tuberous roots even if drought stress is subsequently
remedied. In addition, insufficient abundant labor, lack of credit and microcredit, lack of
supervision of producers and poor use of income represent the socioeconomic factors that
influence cassava production in the said arrondissement. The development of land with
rudimentary techniques and the insecurity of producers on the land they exploit is a factor
limiting cassava production but also the loss of soil fertility.
