In sahelian contries like Niger, the market garden is a sustainable response to improve agriculture yet dominated by dry crops. This work is produced to analyze the technical efficacity and to identify socioeconomics and technical factors which explain this techncal efficacity. The approach used is the Stochastic Fronter Analysis and Cobb-Douglass is applicated as function of production. In order to identify the determiants of this efficacity, the Fractionnal Regression Model is used. It results that the efficacity scores averages are 44,51% for tomato, 51,81% for piment and 64,09% for cabbage. Between the farmer who is near the fronter and the farmer who is fare the fronter, we have a high contrast. The results show that being alphabete, access to vulgarisation, the farmer’s object and being near of exploitation improve the technical efficacity. However, selling in the exploitation, being in farmers’organisation and the contractualization with traders reduce the technical efficacity. This paper purpose to government and their partners to include rainy market gaderning in agricultural policy.
Market gardening is emerging as a credible alternative for crop diversification. The objective of this article is to characterize the market gardening practiced at in rainy season. The methodology adopted consisted to question the farmers and to prospect of vegetable production basins. The sampling concerned 102 farmers who represent more than 20% of the target population. The data collected was includ to descriptive and analytical analyzes. The result shows that fruit-vegetables are the main crops grown. The pure cultivation of cabbage, peppers or tomatoes, is by far the most favored by farm managers. The main irrigation system used by rainy market gardeners is made up of boreholes (86% of market gardeners), motor pumps (93.14%) and pipes (69.65%). The analysis of cultural practices reveals a strong application of maintenance manure (85.29%) and phytosanitary chemicals (95.09%). In addition, the factorial analysis of the mixed data reveals four groups of wintering market gardening operations with a total variance explained at 67.36%. The first group is made up of intensive and specialized market gardening operations with an internal variance rate of 31.07%. The second group is represented by diversified vegetable farms favoring the practice of associated crops with an internal variance of 29.74%. The third group says socio-organized farms (22.75% of the internal variance), favoring crop rotation. The fourth type is called the group of extensive farms.
