In the city of Garoua in North Cameroon, a study was conducted among 100 tomato producers. The aim was to describe the tomato production system in order to identify constraints and prospects for improvement. Surveys and observations with actors reveal that tomato is produced throughout the year; this activity is conducted by 90% men from the Far North of the country. The production tools are wrinkled. The tomato is produced under two cropping systems: 72% under logs and 28% in pickets. The use of fertilizers and insecticides varies from producer to producer and depends on the producer’s budget. therefore, the facilitation of access to agricultural credit and land and the creation of a participatory research platform involving (producers; extension workers; researcher) would help to improve the productivity of the vegetable industry in general and the tomato industry in particular in the region. Land insecurity; lack of funding and supervision are the main obstacles to improving tomato production.

Abstract: (french)
Dans la ville de Garoua au Nord-Cameroun, une étude a été menée auprès de 100 producteurs de tomate. Elle avait pour objectif de décrire le système de production de la tomate en vue de ressortir les contraintes et de dégager des perspectives d’amélioration. Les enquêtes et observations auprès des acteurs révèlent que tomate est produite tout au long de l’année ; cette est activité est mené par 90% hommes originaire de l’Extrême Nord du pays. Les outils de production sont ridumentaires. La tomate est produite sous deux systèmes culturales : 72% sous billons et 28% en piquets. L’utilisation des fertilisants et insecticides varie d’un producteur à l’autre est et fonction du budget de ce dernier. L’insécurité foncière ; le manque de financement et d’encadrement constituent les principaux obstacles à l’amélioration de la production de la tomate. A cet effet, la facilitation d’aces au crédit agricole et au foncier et la création d’une plateforme de recherche participative impliquant (producteurs ; vulgarisateurs ; chercheur) contribuerait à améliorer de la productivité de la maraichère en générale et de la filière tomate en particulier dans la région.
