This study is interested in the nature of the productions in the peri-urban agricultural concessions of the commune of Mont-Ngafula in Kinshasa. It is based on the concept of production system and questionnaire surveys. The results show that the agricultural concessions surveyed carry out several types of production of plant and animal. Fruit arboriculture is the most important type of crop in terms of area occupied and visibility. His development is linked to its capacity to quickly develop the land and to occupy it over the long term, necessary and sufficient conditions to obtain and keep the long-term occupation contract. This document is the only land title legally recognized by the Congolese state to users of agricultural concessions. Beyond the legal and environmental advantages linked to arboriculture fruit, the article proposes the use of an innovative fruit agroforestry approach, consisting in the participative domestication of fruits trees with high nutritional and commercial value mixed with food crops and animal production in order to contribute the increase of the food offer in the markets of Kinshasa and the professionalization of fruit arboriculture.

Abstract: (french)
Cette étude s’intéresse à la nature des productions réalisées dans les concessions agricoles périurbaines de la commune de Mont-Ngafula à Kinshasa. L’analyse s’appuie sur le concept de système de production et les enquêtes par questionnaire. Les résultats révèlent que les concessions agricoles visitées réalisent plusieurs types de production d’origines végétales et animales. L’arboriculture fruitière est le type de culture le plus important en termes de superficie occupée et de visibilité, mais le développement de l’arboriculture est lié à sa capacité de valoriser la terre et à l’occuper sur le long terme, conditions nécessaires et suffisantes pour obtenir et conserver le contrat d’occupation emphytéotique. Ce document est l’unique titre foncier officiellement reconnue par l’Etat congolais aux acquéreurs des terres en concessions agricoles. Au-delà des avantages légaux et environnementaux liés à l’arboriculture, l’article propose le recours à une approche d’agroforesterie fruitière innovante, consistant à la domestication participative et professionnelle des arbres à hautes valeurs nutritives et à rentabilité économique en même d’accroître l’offre alimentaire dans les marchés de Kinshasa.
