Information and communication technologies (icts) in the consolidation of the mango economy in the district of Ferkessédougou

Summary/Abstract: Since the end of the conflict in Côte d’Ivoire in 2011, mango has become an important agricultural crop, especially in the departments of the northern zone of the eponymous country. In Ferkessédougou, one of the said departments, the monetary income it generates arouses the enthusiasm of the populations, putting it at the heart of the local economy. But, the sector suffers from the increase in the volume of rejects, the low tonnages exported, losses in financial transactions and difficulties in accessing new consumer markets. Faced with the situation, local producers deem that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are tools that can allow them to change the situation. The objective of this study is to carry out a descriptive analysis of the contribution of ICT in the consolidation of the mango economy in the Ferkessédougou department. To do this, the deductive approach was adopted; which required qualitative and quantitative surveys. As for data collection, it was based on a mixed technique which associated literature review with the use of reports on national agricultural programs for secondary information, direct observation in the field and individual interviews, for primary information. The results obtained are presented in the form of tables, graphs and maps. The results obtained show, on the one hand, that ICT allows the availability of mango production in the eponymous region and, on the other that ICT participates in the organization of the interprofessional mango industry in Ferkessédougou.
