The marketing of livestock is an activity that adds value to animal products. It conducted in Niger, through more than 635 livestock markets managed by local authorities. This traditional management method has limited performance and has shown no room for improvement. Self-management is being tested to assess the impact of livestock marketing on the Bermo self-managed market. The methodology consisted of the development of questionnaires and interview guides following the strata of players driving the market based on bibliographic research. These tools were administered at the level of eleven strata bringing together 160 actors to collect primary data. Data analysis showed that the self-managed market improves livestock presentations and sales. It facilitates fair transactions and offers better prices, according to 90% to suppliers, in a testimonial system without additional charges. Wholesalers and collectors benefit from facilitating the process of purchasing livestock within the market. Despite the improvements in sale prices, the added values of suppliers and processors remain low compared to the added value of traders (more than 50%). Tax revenues constitute a significant source of income, the redistribution of which on the basis of a distribution key allows for proper functioning and shared and sustainable management of infrastructure. The self-managed market has a positive impacton the social and economic development of the community. It is an interesting model that can be popularized and applied on larger scales.

Abstract: (french)
La commercialisation du bétail est une activité de valorisation des produits animaux. Elle se matérialise au Niger, par plus de 635 marchés à bétail gérés par les autorités locales. La gestion traditionnelle de marchés à bétail a montré des résultats. Face à ce constat, le marché autogéré est expérimenté dans la commune de Bermo. Ce travail vise l’évaluation de l’impact de ce marché autogéré. La méthodologie a consisté en l’élaboration et l’administration des questionnaires et des guides d’entretien au niveau de onze strates regroupant 160 acteurs animant le marché. Les résultats ont montré que le marché autogéré améliore les présentations et les ventes des bestiaux. Il facilite des transactions transparentes et offre de meilleurs prix selon 90% des enquêtés aux fournisseurs, dans un système de témoignage sans charges supplémentaires. Les grossistes et les collecteurs gagnent dans la facilitation du processus d’achat des bétails qui se font à l’intérieur du marché. Malgré, les améliorations des prix de vente, les valeurs ajoutées des fournisseurs et des transformateurs restent faibles comparativement au 50 % de valeur ajoutée des commerçants. Les recettes des taxes constituent une source importante de revenu dont la redistribution permet un bon fonctionnement, une gestion partagée et durable des infrastructures. Le marché autogéré a un impact positif sur le développement social et économique de la collectivité. Il est un modèle intéressant pouvant être vulgarisé et appliqué sur des plus grandes échelles.
