“…The understanding of the system of primary production of goods involves the regionalization of crops, linked either to the quality and availability of land, and to local activities, thus to the district economic base fabric. Beyond the natural features, the intended productive goals relate mainly to the life cycle of the agricultural holding unit, its social structure and the professional singularities of the farm manager (Madelrieux et al, 2012;Pradel and de Gervillier 2011). These production goals generally revolve around major crops such as groundnuts and pearl millet and secondary or minor speculationsoccupying less than 5% of the agricultural area, often planted as infill or field borders.…”

Niayes and Groundnut basin areas are among the largest strongholds of rainfed agriculture in Senegal. In the agricultural holdings of both agro-ecological areas, main speculations are far from optimizing their agronomic production potential. In order to analyze the organizational capacity and decisionmaking processes of producers, a global agronomic diagnostic work was undertaken out on the scale of 180 agricultural holdings through socioeconomic and technical descriptions, while taking into account endogenous and exogenous factors of the agrarian environment. The results revealed technical and biophysical failures of the resources in their availability and/or use, but also a plethora of constraints which hinder the increase of agricultural activity and the dynamical transition of the unit. These constraints are justified by a precarious technical framework (-15%), a modest size of the agricultural unit (7.45 ha) and a small to medium crop rotation of which 42% of UAA for the first speculation, pearl millet. For the dry cereal, 19% N.P.K phosphate fertilizers use is rated with 26.05 kg ha-1 , and 0.46 t ha-1 of background manure for an average yield of 0.59 t ha-1. These conjunctures point to a system of peasant production with low market capital, limited to the satisfaction of family needs.
