Abstract:Malgré les efforts de la recherche et les multiples interventions des États, la productivité des ressources en eau, terre et capital, reste souvent limitée, notamment en Tunisie. Cette étude présente un cadre d'analyse des performances des exploitations agricoles irriguées. Elle vise à étudier le niveau et les déterminants effectifs de ces performances. Des informations technico-économiques ont été collectées à travers des enquêtes détaillées. Elles ont servi à calculer l'efficience technique (ET) et l'efficie… Show more

Analyzing the performance of "model farms" is a major issue in the fight against poverty in the context of protecting biodiversity in the Monkoto corridor. Specifically, the study aims to analyze the technical efficiency and economic profitability of mixed and integrated farms developed in the Monkoto corridor, an area located between the North and South Blocks of Salonga National Park. The study used the focus approach on in-depth individual interviews and observations. This approach made it possible to collect data by the theory of direct confrontation of information in order to choose the most relevant for this study. The survey was conducted using the individual questionnaire among 10 model of the 20 farmers established in the area. The results show that the average NER (Net Income of the Operator) of CDF 233,965.55 and the average efficiency score of 0.1266 are still very low compared to the agro-ecological potential that the area contains. Only 4 out of 10 model farms are profitable while almost all of the farms are inefficient and therefore do not operate at their optimal level. However, given that they are in a context of increasing returns to scale, they all have room for improvement in the volume of their production with the same volume of production factors and consequently, room for improvement the profitability. This can encourage
