Abstract
Rwanda is a country which is full of hills and with at least 80% of the population which depends on agriculture as a source of revenue. The majority of regions with hills have abruptly slopes which do not allow a good yield of the recommended crops. They are exposed to soil erosion which is the cause of poor yields. Agriculture occupies an important place in the economy of Rwanda as it is always the case in all developing countries. We have used different approaches and techniques to gather data for this paper. After the analysis of the research result we have found that cultivating rice through citizens’ organizations and made infrastructure in adjusted marsh allow producers to sell their yields on basis of a good market price thanks to the cooperative efforts to look for markets. The mastery of agricultural techniques, the cooperative system, the increase of revenue due to created jobs allow the cooperative members to satisfy their needs and their families’.

Abstract: (french)
Le Rwanda est un pays montagneux avec plus de 80% de la population dépendant de l'agriculture pour leur subsistance. La plupart des zones collinaires connait de pentes abruptes, ne permettant pas de bonne production des cultures recommandées (vivrières ou industrielles). Elles sont soumises à l’érosion des sols, l’agent causal d’une faible productivité. L’agriculture occupe une place prépondérante dans l’économie du Rwanda comme dans tous les pays en développement. L’économie Africaine dépend énormément de cette dernière. Nous avons utilisés des méthodes et techniques telles que la documentation, l’interview, le focus group, l’observation directe et indirecte ainsi que les entretiens pour la récolte des données. Apres l’interprétation de nos données, nous avons constaté que la culture du riz par l’intermédiaire des organisations paysannes et des infrastructures érigées dans les marais aménagés, permet aux producteurs de gagner des prix meilleurs grâce au pouvoir de négociation de la coopérative. Le savoir-paysan dans les techniques culturales, l’esprit de la coopérative, l’augmentation de revenu par des emplois créés, permettent de couvrir les différents besoins des producteurs et surtout des membres.
