The main objective of this study is to make profitable the exploitation of fresh cocoa in the sector of Nganda Tsundi, Tshela Territory, Kongo Central Province, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in order to improve the well-being of its population. The documentary review on cocoa cultivation, the survey of 69 cocoa farmers and the breakdown of data; have formed the methodological approach begun. The results showed that: 91.8% of income is over-spent by village planters for harvest because of the lack of specific tasks for this operation, compared to SCAM's production standards for the same crop, or to harvest pods to produce 111,666 Kg of beans, 20,040,000 FC are spent in the village instead of 1,642,000 FC at the SCAM. The planters pay the labour to pick up the pods at harvest while the SCAM assimilates this operation to the harvest. So for milled beans equivalent to 111.666 Kg the planters lose 3.480.000FC against zero costs to the SCAM. As for the total cost of production, the production of 111,666 kg of fresh beans results in 52.16% of expenditures by the cocoa farmers of Phalanga Ndenga, whereas it would only result in 7.68% of expenditures at the SCAM. Make this profitable exploitation among the farmers of Phalanga Ndenga, contributed to the reduction of the anthropic pressure of the forest ecosystems of this sector.

Abstract
The main objective of this study is to make profitable the exploitation of fresh cocoa in the sector of Nganda Tsundi, Tshela Territory, Kongo Central Province, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in order to improve the well-being of its population. The documentary review on cocoa cultivation, the survey of 69 cocoa farmers and the breakdown of data; have formed the methodological approach begun. The results showed that: 91.8% of income is over-spent by village planters for harvest because of the lack of specific tasks for this operation, compared to SCAM's production standards for the same crop, or to harvest pods to produce 111,666 Kg of beans, 20,040,000 FC are spent in the village instead of 1,642,000 FC at the SCAM. The planters pay the labour to pick up the pods at harvest while the SCAM assimilates this operation to the harvest. So for milled beans equivalent to 111.666 Kg the planters lose 3.480.000FC against zero costs to the SCAM. As for the total cost of production, the production of 111,666 kg of fresh beans results in 52.16% of expenditures by the cocoa farmers of Phalanga Ndenga, whereas it would only result in 7.68% of expenditures at the SCAM.

Abstract: (french)
L’objectif principal de cette étude est celui de rentabiliser ll’exploiçtation de cacao frais dans le secteur de Nganda Tsundi, Territoire de Tshela, Province du Kongo Central, en République Démocratique du Congo, en vu d’eméliorer le bien-être de sa population. La revue documentaire sur la culture de cacao, l’enquête de 69 planteurs de cacao et le dépuillement des données; ont constitué la demarche méthodologique amorcée. Les résultats ont montré que: 91,8 % de revenus sont dépensés en trop par les planteurs villageois pour la récolte étant donné le manque des tâches précises pour cette opération, comparativement aux normes d’exploitation de la SCAM pour la même production, soit pour récolter des cabosses devant produire 111.666 Kg de fèves, 20.040.000 FC sont dépensés au village au lieu de 1.642.000 FC à la SCAM ; Les planteurs payent la main d’œuvre pour ramasser les cabosses à la récolte alors que la SCAM assimile cette opération à la récolte. Donc pour des fèves écabossées équivalents à 111.666 Kg les planteurs perdent 3.480.000FC contre zéro frais à la SCAM. Faisant état du coût total d’exploitation, la production de 111.666 Kg de fèves fraîches entraîne 52,16% de dépenses chez les planteurs cacao de Phalanga Ndenga, alors qu’elle entrainerait seulement 7,68 % de dépenses à la SCAM. Rendre cette exploitation rentable chez les paysans de Phalanga Ndenga, contribuerait à la réduction de la pression anthropique des écosystèmes forestiers de ce secteur.
Author Keywords: exploitation, cacao, récolte, dépenses, rentabilité.
