Résumé : Since 1999, Cameroon and Ghana have been conducting research to improve the production conditions and income of small and medium-sized rubber plantations. This paper provides a brief description of the work undertaken, focusing on the methodology adopted (participatory approach with an analysis of farm functioning, on-farm trials, networks of reference farms) and on the tools used (survey design software, farm modelling and simulation software, natural rubber reference system). It also presents some of the results, particularly those concerning the constraints that smallholders are facing as well as some suggestions to improve the situation.
