"Les coopératives agricoles et le développement socio-économique" is a specialized book that addresses the role of agriculture as a key to sustainable development and poverty alleviation. It highlights the challenges faced by small farmers, particularly regarding high transaction costs and weak bargaining power in the markets for inputs and products. This issue is particularly pronounced in Africa, where a significant portion of the population depends on agriculture. The book analyzes the importance of the agricultural sector for poverty reduction, especially in the context of Burundi, where agriculture plays a crucial role in improving living conditions. To tackle these challenges, the formation of producer organizations is emphasized as a promising strategy that is gaining importance in both developing and developed countries. The authorship of Revocat Nsabimana brings valuable perspectives and analyses to this important topic.
