Abstract

The author analyses the results of a rapid growth of the Plantation economy on the Ivory Coast from 1 965 tc 1975 and the impact of technical changes. He notes a great variety in regional evolution but a general trenc towards a reduction of disparities. The productivity per worker stagnates and the crop yield seems to deteriorate Demographic factors (migrations) are important. This growth results in an increasing social and economic stratification of the peasants which stems from a dual competition : the «competition for land» and the «competition for labour». Three different systems are observed, selfsufficiency, growth based on family labour and growth based on permanently hired labour. The impact of technical change is small. There is a definitive contradiction between the aim of development services which is land intensification and the object of many planters to gain land which trends towards extensive farming. This situation is also confirmed by local statistics.
