Titre anglais : Recent changes in the African coconut subsector and impact on tropical agriculture research

Résumé : Coconut was introduced into Africa by the Portuguese several centuries ago, and underwent considerable development on that continent during the 20th century, notably between the 60s and 80s. The commodity chain then stopped expanding, affected by unfavourable developments in the production context (development of lethal coconut epidemics, civil wars) and by the economic environment (stagnating copra market, liberalization, globalization). This rapid change led to strong demand for an analysis of the commodity chain, identification of new development challenges and the elaboration of appropriate solutions, causing research to redefine the content of its programmes. This resulted in the adoption of new approaches; which were less productivist and more participatory, giving a socio-economic dimension to a commodity chain type approach.
