Abstract

Ce papier analyse l’effet de la culture associée sur l’efficacité technique des ménages agricoles au Burkina Faso, par l’approche fonction distance directionnelle. Les données proviennent de 303 ménages, collectées en 2012 et 2013 par le Laboratoire d’Analyse Quantitative Appliquée au Développement-Sahel de l’Université Thomas Sankara. Il ressort que l’intensification de la culture associée améliore l’efficacité technique, de même que l’éducation et la traction animale. L’âge du chef de ménage et le ratio de dépendance réduisent en revanche l’efficacité technique. Afin d’améliorer durablement l’efficacité technique des ménages agricoles, les actions doivent viser prioritairement l’intégration de la culture associée dans les plans et programmes de développement agricole, le renforcement des capacités par la formation et l’encadrement agricole, l’amélioration de l’accès aux équipements agricoles et aux services sociaux de base (éducation).Intercropping Technology and Technical Efficiency of Farm Households in Burkina Faso. This paper analyzes the effect of intercropping on the technical efficiency of agricultural households in Burkina Faso, using the directional distance function approach. The data were collected from 303 households in 2012 and 2013 by the Laboratory of Quantitative Analysis Applied to Development-Sahel of the Thomas Sankara University. Evidence shows that intensification of intercropping improves technical efficiency, as well as education and animal traction. In contrast, the age of the household head and the dependency ratio reduce technical efficiency. In order to sustainably improve the technical efficiency of farm households, actions should focus on integrating intercropping into agricultural development plans and programs, building capacity through training and agricultural supervision, and improving access to agricultural equipment and basic social services (education).
