Résumé : In West Africa, liberalisation is increasing uncertainty in both the agricultural sector and rural financial markets. Studies have shown that it has significantly reduced the supply of agricultural finance. Private banks have not yet filled the gap. In numerous countries, microfinance has become by default the primary alternative mechanism to finance agriculture. However, its capacity to respond to the specificities of agricultural demand remains limited. Using household surveys, studies of microfinance institution and policy analyses conducted in nine countries, this paper analyses the outreach and impact of microfinance in agriculture, highlights the links between microfinance and other kinds of agricultural finance (banks, farmer's organisations, commodity chain finance, etc.) and reviews the impact of public policies.
