Cultures Maraicheres Dans L Economie Des Menages De Reo Et De Goundi Paperback

Siegnounou Bognini

Market gardening in Réo and Goundi was based on the exploitation of home gardens for home consumption. Nowadays this activity has undergone a clear evolution. We have moved to a market economy favored by the proximity and development of urban centers such as Koudougou, which is constantly increasing the vegetable needs of urban dwellers. Thus, the households in Réo and Goundi made market gardening their main activity in the off-season. They have managed to integrate market gardening into their traditional production system, thus extending the agricultural calendar of the main crops in the dry season. Market gardening revenues make this activity the main source of household income. They have a positive impact on the social and economic life of peasants through the creation of new income-generating activities, the acquisition of equipment and manufactured goods, the contribution to food security, health and education. Market gardening therefore appears to be an essential component of the rural economy in Réo and Goundi, in the current context of the persistence of poverty in rural areas.
