Abstract:

To understand the organization of the pig sector in the North of Côte d'Ivoire, a study was carried out in four sub-prefectures (Korhogo, Karakoro, Tioro and Napie). To do this, a survey was carried out using a questionnaire addressed to the various actors in the sector. The results showed that pig farming is practiced by men (66.66%) and more Christians (70%) practice it. Improved breeds (46.67%) are more exploited in these farms and the average herd size is 23± 4 heads, with a predominance of fattening pigs (24.91%). Most farms are traditional (50%). Food manufacturers are the least present in the sector. The feed mills were all located in Korhogo. They all produced and sold food and different raw materials. At the processor level, this study shows that pigs processors are mainly of Senoufo ethnicity (41.38%). Most processors are women (58.62%) divided into three main categories of processors: charcutiers-restaurateurs, charcutiers and restaurateurs. Most pork meat butchers and restaurants are located along the tracks (82.75%). In addition, pork consumers are mainly men (83.33%) and of the Senoufo ethnic group (36.46%). The main places of pork consumption reported are at the roadside (54.93%) and in restaurants (35.21%). Pig breeding is the prerogative of almost all sociolinguistic and socio-professional groups in the Korhogo department. Improvement strategies should focus on the organization, accountability and supervision of stakeholders for better management of production in the interest of the development of this breeding.
