This article analyzes the contribution of market gardening to household income in the N'djili valley in Kinshasa. The Probit and Tobit models were estimated to take into account respectively: (1) the decision to participate in market gardening activities, (2) and the decision to depend on these activities. The results of the estimates showed that the decision to participate in market gardening activities is significantly affected by the variable age, level of study and the place of sale of market gardening products. Household dependence on market gardening is positively affected by gender, age and level of education and simultaneously negatively influenced by household size, experience in market gardening and sales locations. In addition, statistical analyzes indicated that a typical household earns on average an income of 222,000 Congolese francs for a combined crop cycle of at least two crops.
Author Keywords: truck farming, household, income, peri-urban.

Cet article analyse contribution des cultures maraichères au revenu des ménages dans la vallée de N’djili à Kinshasa. Les modèles Probit et Tobit ont été estimé pour prendre respectivement en compte: (1) la décision de participation aux activités de maraichage, (2) et la décision de dépendance de ces activités. Les résultats des estimations ont montré que la décision de participation aux activités de maraichage est affectée de façon significative par la variable âge, niveau d’étude et le lieu de vente des produits maraichers. La dépendance des ménages aux maraichages est positivement affectée par le genre, l’âge et le niveau d’étude et simultanément influencée négativement par la taille de ménage, l’expérience dans l’activité de maraichage et les lieux de vente. En outre, les analyses statistiques ont indiqué qu'un ménage typique gagne en moyenne, un revenu de 222.000 Franc congolais pour un cycle cultural combiné au moins de deux cultures.
Author Keywords: culture maraichère, ménage agricole, revenu, peri-urbain.
