La consommation du manioc, sous forme des pâtes alimentaires (Foufou ou chikwangue) nécessite de passer par le rouissage qui réduit la toxicité due à la présence de l’acide cyanhydrique. Cependant, les caractéristiques des exploitations et les techniques de rouissages sont variées. Ainsi l’objectif de cette étude était de réaliser une typologie des exploitations agricoles familiales de la commune de Maluku, en rapport avec les techniques de rouissage du manioc. Une enquête portant sur 344 exploitations agricoles a permis de collecter les données y afférentes. Les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, les caractéristiques de l’exploitation, les contraintes auxquelles font face les exploitations ainsi que la localisation (villages) ont été prises en compte. La typologie a été réalisée sur base de l’Analyse en Composantes Multiples (ACM) et la Classification Hiérarchique Ascendante (CHA). Les résultats révèlent 3 types d’exploitations agricoles. Le premier axe principal est dominé par le village, le type de contraintes, la productivité en cosette, le type de la main-d’œuvre et le type de matériel végétal. Le second axe principal est dominé par les techniques de rouissage. The objective of this study is to develop a typology of cassava-producing farms in the Maluku area, on the outskirts of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The criteria chosen are: socio-economic characteristics (type of workforce, membership of a group of producers and type of production constraints); characteristics related to cassava production technology (exploited area, plowing equipment and type of plant material); the characteristics linked to the cassava processing technology (retting method, retting duration and chip yield) and the village. The data was collected by survey on 344 farms operating in 6 villages. The typology was made thanks to an ACM and finalized by a CAH. The results of the study made it possible to group cassava producers into three types on the basis of the variables retained. The results reveal 3 types of farms. With the village, the type of constraints, the productivity in cosette, the type of labor and the type of plant material as the dominant characteristics of the first axis of the typology and the mode and duration of retting as the dominant characteristics of the second axis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
