Dissemination and Adoption of Improved Varieties of Leguminous Seed Promoted by the Agricultural Research Institute for Development (IRAD) among Producers in Penka-Michel Subdivision, West Region of Cameroon
- G.H. Fongang Fouepe; U.S. Tchinda Kenmene; M. Melachio Nguedia
- The design of systemic innovations in the agricultural sector today makes it possible to reconcile the challenges of productivity and sustainability. But these innovations, which sometimes combine several variables, are often complex in the opinion of farmers. This article analyzes the process of diffusion of the improved varieties of leguminous seeds promoted by IRAD and the adoption by producers within the district of Penka-Michel in West Cameroon. Data were collected using the questionnaires on a sample of 80 producers and interview guide was address to 5 agricultural input sellers and 2 researchers. Producers were selected on the basis of the quota sampling method; agricultural input sellers and researchers were selected randomly according to their experience on the topic. Information collected from the questionnaire was collected and processed using Excel spreadsheets and SPSS 16.0 software, those from interview guide was transcribed. Results show that the production of leguminous grains in Penka-Michel is mainly done by women (66.2%) relatively mature (51 to 60 years) but with a low level of education and whose main activities are agriculture (78.8%). Although the improved varieties are less appreciated than the traditional ones, they come exclusively from IRAD, which first carries out a series of experimentation and tests before distribution. The dissemination process is carried out either through direct extension to producers with the support of Extension Agents, or through partners, which in this case are NGOs and Farmer Organizations. “Mouth to mouth” and self-dissemination by the farmers themselves seem to be the most important channel (73%) of disseminating information about innovations on improved seeds. Despite the popularization actions carried out, the adoption rate of new varieties remains relatively low. Of the 42.08% who had previously adopted these varieties, there were 38.47% who rejected them after adoption mostly due to lack of information and financial resources. Only 3.61% who finally adopted these varieties. While it is true that several variables such as household size, contact with research and seniority in production make it possible to analyze the adoption rate, it can be clear that it remains subject to several biophysical, socio-economic, technological and institutional constraints. It is therefore essential to redefine strategies that can be more effective in the long term.
